Thanks to Michelle for our newest roving reporter submission that is in West Paterson, or now currently known as Woodland Park. Thanks to this new promotion with Imagine That!!! we are getting a lot more favorites from our NJ Playground Facebook fans!
Michelle’s review:
Zaccaria Park is located in West Paterson and is completely surrounded by trees providing more than adequate shade during the hot summers. The park features three jungle gyms for various ages, two basket ball courts, two pavilions and a soccer field for private use only. Henderson Pond is located next to the soccer field and can be accessed by a walking path. There is a designated parking lot at the park entrance.
