    This park definitely has a very good and open view of Raritan River. It looks neat. Must be very relaxing to enjoy a nice sunny day here. But I saw some sprays on signs, broken trail lights...That took away a star from my review.

    Beautiful park to spend an evening. They have two small kids' play areas. Lot of area to walk around adjacent to the river. A big amphitheater. The park is neatly maintained, but people litter around. There is a lot of litter near the kids' play area and in the walk path as well. The bridges and the walkpath are beautiful. There is a boathouse, but I'm not sure if they rent boats. Good place for people to fish as well. We saw lot of people fishing

    Nice and small strip kind of park on the banks of Raritan river. Main activity seemed like fishing. Of course, one can sit and have a peaceful introspection. The view of river turning looks majestic. On the other side one can see bridges - one for vehicles and the higher one for trains.

    This is a nice park right along Raritan River. After the recent floods this place was devastated. But now the city has restored it beautifully. The historic areas have been preserved, particularly the Northern Terminus of the D&R Canal. The Class of 1914 Boathouse has also been restored to its original beauty. Some parts of the part (along the river) are overrun with weeds and may also have ticks. So please wear long sleeves and pants when you go here.

    This is a very beautiful, quiet park, right off the noisy streets and highways nearby. There is a beautiful path near the Delaware Raritan Canal and an area with steps to go and a nice view from the top.

    Beautiful, peaceful, place to sit and enjoy a late evening take on the stairs near platform. Great for walking, bike riding. Lots of hills to sit or lay to star gaze or for picnics. Fishing great here I noticed for people. Lots of trees.

    This beautiful mural was painted by the very talented Ricardo Basilio Coke. I hope they preserve it. 🙏🏾 This park is so peaceful and calming. A true gem right in gorgeous New Brunswick New Jersey.

    It’s a nice park but I saw many homeless stuffs. I think it needs to be managed well. The river is muddy but peaceful.

  • 5/5 Md Rezaul Karim R. 1 year ago on Google • 44 reviews
    A place of tranquility, it offers you a fantastic avenue of flowing waters, a very artistic bridge to pass by, boat renting, park facilities and many more. The best time I love to roam around is the moments of sunrises and moon rises - I can firmly tell that your heart and eyes both will be energized for the day once you start your day starting at Boyd park! Last but not the least it's a very iconic place to view both City life one side and the Village life in opposite side. Boyd park is on the yard of Rutgers university where it's yard touches the Raritan River - no further due to plan your visit at BOYD yard!!

    It's a nice park but the mantience guy is very rude. Yelled at my girlfriend for laying a blanket in the middle of the grass and sitting on it and told her to leave....

    It a nice big space! It’s near the water ! A lot of people fish there but I wouldn’t recommend it lol

    A leisure walk along the riverside, immersed in the changing colors of the summer end, feeling the cool breezes with a hint lavender, is just the perfect way to spend the morning with your beloved ones.
