Rochelle Park’s Carlock Field is located on Thiem Ave & Berdan St. Carlock field has a new play area located in residential neighborhood with field and recreational building. There are two separate areas for 2- 5 and 5-12. The equipment is shiny and new with loads of climbing. There is a huge rock wall and really cool steps and slides. The toddler area has a cool bump slide. There are lots of rockers and play puzzles.

My 7 year old daughter and I went to this playground this morning. We were there from about 12-1PM. We were the only ones there the entire time. There is a variety of equipment here, and my daughter loved it. There were plenty of benches and picnic tables and lots of shady trees. It’s tucked away in a residential neighborhood – I never would have known about it if it weren’t for this site. I imagine it’s a little more crowded when there is a baseball or soccer game on, but today, it was very quiet.
Are there lights on the sport fields?
Hello,
I was wondering was the Park named after “William” Carlock in the 1960s??
I found out today the Park was named after my Grandfather William R. Carlock who passed away in 1960. I was able to locate a article where they also dedicated a new Field House in his mane on September 5, 1970.
