Choose parks by interest

Gardens, trails and picnics

These features appeal to different kinds of leisure plans: the garden offers an opportunity for community gardening, the picnic area is suited to an outdoor meal, and the trails are for spending time on foot. The pond adds another distinct feature to the park. This gives you a concrete point of reference when choosing a hotel if you want to include open spaces and trails in your leisure plans.

Sports, games and fishing

Community Park has a different focus. It is home to the Morris Plains Community Pool, a pavilion, a playground, tennis and basketball courts, baseball and softball fields, and a fishing pond. Its facilities cover games, various sports and fishing; the pool is another distinguishing feature. This makes it easy to distinguish between Community Park and Central Avenue Park: Community Park is focused on its pool, play areas and sports, while Central Avenue Park features a garden, picnic area, trails and pond. Knowing whether sports and games or gardening and picnics better suit your plans gives you a concrete starting point for choosing a park.

Walking trails and fishing

Court Road Park has a walking trail and a pavilion. Unlike the courts and fields at Community Park, the trail and pavilion are its defining features. Watnong Park offers something different, with fishing available there. Community Park also has a fishing pond.
