A beautiful day at Overpeck County Park. We came here a few years ago, returned today to explore more of the park than our first visit.

There are trails, tracks, fields, a big playground, huge space to explore what the park has to offer. We live so close by, we will take more of an opportunity to explore more.

Nice little park. Did a Ride for a Child today with the PD escort. Great group of officers. They kept us safe riding through the streets to greet a child that's going through a brain cancer diagnosis. It's my understanding that he's gone through his last bout of chemo. Thank God.

Overpeck County Park has quickly become one of my favorite hangouts for bird and wildlife photography in Bergen County, New Jersey. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes when humans don't develop locations for housing and commercial, but instead to help reclaim nature.
What was once a garbage dump (landfill) is now a thriving ecosystem for flora and fauna. One moment you can be flying a kite the next you're observing multiple bald eagles flying overhead. You can kayak and fish in the summer, you can jog or walk the many paved pathways, and you can even catch a concert in June through August. For wildlife and nature enthusiast... Especially photographers, bring extra batteries and SD cards because you're gonna need it. The amount of birds that you will find is unbelievable. There's plenty of parking, clean, bathrooms, and even charging stations for your car.
Enjoy.!

One of my favorite public parks around the area I currently reside at. It’s great in size with many different activities you can do from walking, reading a book, kayaking, picnics, or just a lay low time with friends and family or even just yourself. There are many functions that happen at the park through out the year. Just an fyi you do not need a permit in order to kayak if you have one. There’s specific areas you can go to within the park to enjoy beautiful views. My favorite one is on the little bridge by the entrance after the first roundabout. The bride has two benches for you to relax on. The bathrooms are so clean compared to other park restrooms. The park is so clean. The security guard there is very friendly and is willing to answer all your questions.

Huge spacious park, plenty of parking available. They're a ton of areas for picnicking and lounging. There's an area for fishing; There is an area for canoeing. They're soccer fields, playgrounds. Everything you could ask for in the park. Restrooms are available. Super long walking trail where you can walk around the entire park. And you can even have a great view of the Lake.

Overpeck County Park is a great place, whether lonely or with loved ones. It's an incredible place to go sightseeing or socialize. It has bird-watch outings, fishing and kayaking, seeing horses and or equestrians, or getting pertained to some recreational activities such as soccer and tennis, golfing, baseballs, volleying, cricketing, enthralling in kiting or going on a hike, flying RC planes or flying drones in nonrestricted areas if you're an enthusiast and enjoy the view! It has a massive playground for all sports and is dog-friendly. It has restrooms and large picnic areas for extracurricular activities, as well as festivities. And it has a Jurassic Park out-of-plain sight until you search for all the thoracic creatures you've read about and know.
