Paramus: Nature Trails, Local History and Sports

In Paramus, nature trails, sports facilities and several specific aspects of local history sit side by side. If you’re looking for a hotel in Paramus, you can plan your trip around whether trails through wetlands, local history or sporting destinations should shape your stay. Each place has its own focus and helps you organize your options according to specific interests.

Parks and Trails in Paramus

The nature trail in Reid Park connects the park with Solder Hill Road. It passes through natural areas and adjacent wetlands. If you’re looking for a trail connection along with a description of the landscape, you’ll find both here. The trail system in Constitution Grove Park has a different focus: it runs through old-growth forest. Another point of reference is the 6-mile Bicycle-Pedestrian Pathway in Saddle River County Park, which runs through Paramus. Its length provides a different point of reference from the surroundings of Reid Park and Constitution Grove. The trails therefore differ in their focus on landscape, connections and a designated route.

Local History at a Museum, Library and Historic Structure

The Fritz Behnke Historical Museum is located at 330 Paramus Road. If you’re planning a museum visit, it’s a good idea to check the latest visitor information. The original school bell is on display at the Charles E Reid Branch Library—a specific object connected to the history of the school. Another historic destination is Easton Tower, a unique structure in Paramus’s Arcola neighborhood. It was built in 1899 on George Easton’s original estate along the Saddle River. The tower borders the Saddle River Bikeway and can be accessed via the bikeway. This links the tower’s architectural history with a clearly specified route via the bikeway.

Aviation History, Zoo and Sports

A trail in Buehler Park features areas about the role of aviation in New Jersey’s history. The trail is currently being upgraded. If this topic is important to your plans, check on the progress of the work in advance.

Bergen County Zoo is located in Van Saun County Park, at 216 Forest Avenue in Paramus, New Jersey. Fishing is also permitted in the same park on a catch-and-release basis. A New Jersey state fishing license is required. If fishing is part of your plans, take this requirement into account when preparing for your trip.

The lighted Gennarelli Sports Complex in Paramus has facilities for baseball, Little League, softball, soccer, American football, basketball and tennis. For travelers interested in sports, the list covers several specific disciplines, while the nature trails and historic destinations offer different points of interest. You can plan your stay around the activities that bring you to Paramus.
