Goffle Brook Park- Hawthorne, NJ
Located along Goffle Road, this 103-acre park
is adjacent to the Goffle Brook. The northern section
contains a duck pond, which is stocked with trout for
fishing during the summer. The southern section of the park
contains numerous athletic fields, an accessible playground, and picnic
areas.
One of the newest and most popular features
in Goffle Brook Park is the Dog Run. The Dog Run allows dogs
the opportunity to run free in a safe and contained area and
their owners the chance to relax and enjoy some quality time
with their pets.
In wintertime, Goffle Brook Park becomes a
winter wonderland with sleigh riding and ice skating on the
brook.
This lovely park was designed by the firm of
Frederick Law Olmstead and is also the location of the
historic Rea House, which is now used to house County
offices.
