Overpeck County Park-Ridgefield Park Area

great park you cannot swim but can boat and is next to a Eagles nest there is a soccer field and a baseball field they hold annual festivals and other events

I love this park!!! Its such a large a d beautiful park. This park has 2 amazing turf soccer fields, concession, tennis courts, baseball field, stage, bathrooms, vending machine, river, kayaking and canoeing, cArnivals, fairs, and other events. The path through the park is great for working, biking, blading, and more. Also the playground is so much fun for the kids and maybe the adults too. Lol One of my favorite parks!!! :) :)

Great, beautiful and a Huge park for a nice picnic, a good walk and even a good peaceful drive. On a day with great weather, definitely go and try it out and don’t forget the Kayaking.

Lovely place to pass time with friends, family, pets. Big, with all types of amenities.

HUGE park. It was very lovely. The perfect place to go for a run. Take a blanket and relax. Nice spot to have a picnic. I didn’t get to walk around a lot. I went there really late. I will definitely be going back there.

After leaving the new Walmart in Teterboro the wife ask if I wanted to go to the park. I replied sure she said what park in which I replied wait and see. Entered the park then parked the car and started our walk. Wife loved the view as we held hands and spoke about having a picnic here. As you already know there is an outdoor theater, bathroom, playground, baseball, softball and soccer fields. I am surprise the Republicans haven’t sold this piece of land. Everyone is out riding their bike rollerblading and jogging a few people were fishing. The park is beautiful and great it is a free park. I haven’t walked over the bridge yet and will not rent a kayak cause I love my life. I hear there is an equestrian section now I’m hooked. The concession stand was closed but the soda vending machine was there. I am so happy that the public bathrooms in a public park are clean.
The wood bridge is oh so cool there are benches everywhere to sit and relax for a few. There are a lot of good spots to fish I have not yet tossed a line in the water but I need to. I have to explore more and more of this beautiful piece of land. I was over by the equestrian spot but i didn’t see any horses. I did get to watch some robins hunt for food.
There is a ton of open space to catch a tan fly a kite. Ah bump it just come and have a good olé day.

I had the pleasure of visiting this park on two occasions and I absolutely love it here! Recently, they had a small carnival visiting and there was a decent crowd of families. I believe this park can get really crowded on weekends so beware if you don’t like huge crowds.
This park is pristine clean and so are the bathrooms. I didn’t notice a peppermint wrapper on the ground, you can literally eat off the ground. While walking there were some small hills for a challenge but nothing invigorating.
There are several play areas for children, tennis courts, and a boating area. Also, there is a concession stand own so you can purchase basic items (water, pretzels, ice cream bars and etc).
Oh by the way, there isn’t much shade so bring your sunglasses… I can’t wait too return to this park!

Not as big as Saddle River County Park but just as good. Great views of the river and plenty of room for recreation like soccer, basketball and a kids playground. Plenty of parking and clean bathrooms. Most parks I go to are very dirty and don’t even have soap this one does! lol. During the summer and fall months there is usually something going on every weekend such as a carnival or concert. Conveniently located right by the movie theater so a good workout before or after a movie.

My boyfriend and I came here on Labor Day to enjoy the weather and have some end of summer fun.
He insisted on the tandem kayak since he’s never been kayaking before so it was an experience… for both of us.
We had a great time paddling down towards Rt. 46. After a while we decided to head back the other way. Here’s where the frustrations came out.
Somehow we got stuck in some weird current where we’d paddle forwards a bit and then no matter what we did, we’d start to turn. Basically, we paddled back in circles the entire way. It was infuriating but we kept our tempers and still had a great time.
It’s only $ 15 for TWO HOURS, which is a great deal in my book. Go, enjoy the scenery, and a peaceful day on the water.

Great local park with a nice size bike path along the river. They also have a food truck festival and a carnival here every year which is a fun time. Also, there are big time high school football games with teams like Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco.

5k Walk 4 Water event was here via Islamic Relief & other organizations. Whenever I come to the spark it is either for a festival or Eid. Beautiful place. The people in charge are awesome: they always let us have the stage and the speakers so we can have performances, there’s music, there’s always icecream trucks, there’s always food vendors, it’s a beautiful place. its very clean. the water is beautiful. there’s places to sit to relax. I love this park!

NIce, big open park. Huge path to jog/​walk around. Ampitheater for events. Multiple tennis courts, soccer fields, and baseball diamonds. Great jungle gym/​playground for kids. No work out station, basketball courts, gotta go to the «old» overpeck in Leonia for that, but this park and that one are connected so easy to get from one to the other. You can bike, walk, run, drive over to the different parks. Great use of this empty space.

This is a really amazing park, a lot of square footage and very new equipments. The whole park was opened only back in 2010 so everything is in excellent condition. It has a really big playground area that tons of kids would be playing in with parents as well as a really wide open field. The bike and running trail is really great as well that I saw many people were already out running and biking despite still 50s on a really good day.
My favourite part was the little scenic bridge for both pedestrians and cars to drive over, I think it made the experience so much better. Really amazing place with a great view of the river as well. Not much more anyone can ask for of a great place to relax and enjoy some green area.

I’ve only just recently discovered this park and I was amazed how huge it is. There’s actually 2 sides to this park which are separated by the main road. The one side is the older/​smaller side which has baseball fields, a football field, tennis courts and a dog park. The other side is newer and much larger. It has several soccer fields, a children’s playground and a massive open area where I let my dog run when there aren’t any people playing sports there. In addition, there’s a canoe/​kayak launch area where you can paddle up the Hackensack River and an equestrian center. Both sides have a paved walking path which I believe is 5K total if you go around the whole thing. This has become one of my favorite places to bring my dog and it’s conveniently located right off of Route 80.

Came to this lovely park for the harvest festival with our bikes. We rode along the long loop around the park. The loop is fairly flat but it is great for a casual ride or nice walk. There’s a pretty section along the creek, and has a dock on which you can ponder life.
Large grassland for playing, flying kites, and having picnics. The best part of this park is the massive children’s playground and the spider web nets for climbing.
The only downside is that there isn’t a lot of shaded areas. I can see it being really hot here In the summer but perfect during the spring/​fall.

Love, love this park.
Clean, wonderful relaxing views of the manmade lake with docks, great for running, roller-​blading or a nice stroll. I always see people fishing on the docks, not sure for what. If, I recall there are 2 soccer fields and a children’s section with swings that are also handicapped accessible and other weird stuff climbing, hanging, swinging things kids enjoy.
It is gorgeous during the spring with the blooming flowers & bees. The bees are friendly, though.

*sigh* I love this park. Me and my boo loved coming here randomly from the bx for the heck of it or before/​after catching a movie at the AMC.
This park is really big, I like that you can drive right up to your little section of the park. Everytime we come its feels empty. I like the little lake and walking out onto the little dock. The bathrooms are always clean. Its fun to play around on the stage when no one is watching. There’s also vending machines. Good times over there :)

Definitely recommend this park area for families– parking is ample and they have amazing fields.
We went here by the children’s area, and while it did look very swarmed walking up to it, every child still had 5 open options.
Good clean crowd as well, and there is an area to walk near water, or just to stay by open fields. There is a nice lush surrounding view as well. While it is right off the turnpike, once you’re in, you couldn’t tell.

This park is BIG! Lots of space. I went here for a Kpop event last summer. New York Korean Festival took place here. That was a good choice on the promoter’s part. Because about 10,000+ people showed up for the event, and this park was big enough to hold everyone. It’s very nice park. There is a lake near by, which is a plus. I hope they hold more events at this park.

I went here for a free kpop concert. While I did not enjoy having to «park» on a seat for many hours in the blistering heat before the concert, I did notice that this place is quite lovely. Such a large expanse of lush green lawn, clean bathrooms, and a pretty lake! If I lived in Jersey, I wouldn’t mind coming here for a picnic. People were enjoying grilled food, ice cream, and were flying kites. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
Also, due to the disorganization of the concert promoters, we rushed to this park via cab because we thought our seats would be given away.* From Manhattan, it is $ 45 flat rate via cab, plus $ 10 tolls. Otherwise, the most affordable option is to take the subway to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, then taking the 167 bus to the park. The bus fare is $ 4.25 one-​way.
* hence sitting many hours in the blistering heat
