July 28, 20253 min read

Alright, Saddle Brook locals and Bergen County explorers — if you're itching for a spot that’s got just enough nature to relax and just enough space to move, Riverside County Park is your new favorite hangout. This two-section park stretches across North Arlington and Lyndhurst, hugging the Passaic River like it was made for slow strolls and Sunday selfies. Whether you’re out here for a solo jog, a family BBQ, or just vibing on a bench with an iced coffee and good playlist, this park hits all the marks and then some

🌿 So What’s the Big Deal About Riverside County Park?

  • 🛝 Two main sections: North (chill vibes, scenic trails) & South (sports, playgrounds, and wide-open spaces)

  • 🏀 Basketball courts, ⚽️ soccer fields, 🥎 baseball/softball diamonds — pick your game, this park’s got it

  • 🚴‍♀️ Paved paths for biking, skating, jogging, or dramatic power walking

  • 🧺 Loads of green space and picnic spots — bring the snacks and set up your spread

🏙️ Close to Everything, But Feels Like an Escape

  • 🛍️ If you’re the type who earns their picnic with a little shopping, hit up Garden State Plaza just 15 minutes away
