Grover Cleveland Park, County park in Essex Fells, New Jersey, United States.
Grover Cleveland Park is a county park in Essex Fells covering about 41 acres with wooded sections, walking trails, and a pond. The landscape includes tennis courts, baseball fields, picnic areas, and a children's playground spread across different zones.
Essex County acquired this land between 1913 and 1916 and named it after President Grover Cleveland, who was born in the nearby town of Caldwell. The Olmsted Brothers designed the landscape features following their father's architectural approach to park design.
The Olmsted Brothers firm, following their father's landscape architecture principles, designed the recreational spaces and formal gardens within the park.
The park has clear walking routes and distinct zones that make it easy to navigate and find your preferred activities. Shaded areas under trees provide relief during warm months while open sections work well in cooler seasons.
Where the footbridge now stands, a sawmill once operated powered by the creek water flowing through the site. This industrial past has been quietly absorbed into the natural landscape visitors see today.
