Kearny Riverbank Park

Kearny Riverbank Park runs along the Passaic River and includes playgrounds, sports facilities, and a grass soccer field spread across roughly 10 acres. The space offers a running track, lighted tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, and a boathouse for rowing activities.

The park was designed by the Olmsted firm, a renowned landscape architecture office. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places marks its importance in the region's heritage.

The park is divided into sections that honor different communities and their histories. These areas let visitors connect with the local roots and memories that shape how people use this space.

The park sits along the river with easy access to its various sports and recreation facilities, which stay open from morning through sunset. Visitors will find multiple areas suited to different activities, so it is worth exploring to find the right spot for your plans.

A boathouse in the park serves rowers from three nearby communities, creating a unique link across local boundaries. This shared use by teams from different towns is rare for recreational facilities in the area.
