    The summer camp program run by Franklin township parks and rec out of Naaman Williams park is grossly negligent and careless… My ten year old son nearly drowned in their pool while staff was supposed to be supervising the swimmers. I rushed him to the emergency room just to make sure their was no further damage done, gratefully he is doing well now, I would not recommend anyone send their child there. This has been the worst camp experience we have had thus far.

    Park has nice walking path, 2 playgrounds, tennis courts, pool and more. Feels safe. Too bad that people are littering in the wooded area and make it appear like a garbage dump.

    This is nice small neighborhood park. I like that aspect of the park but it's not in a good neighborhood. But I feel relatively safe because it's very family oriented and there is a police presence when there are events.

    This park is a great place to have your cookout, picnic or event. Conveniently located to major highways and a brief walk from the Coach bus station Route 27, New Brunswick, NJ.in addition to fast food restaurants (McDonald's, Burger King, etc.).

    Its a nice neighborhood community park. Has facilities - basketball courts, cricket ground, baseball, outdoor swimming pool, kids play area for younger kids and toddler, party area , track for running or walking, enough parking, two Johnny stations for restrooms, Nice clean park and very well maintained. No soccer ground or dog area though.

    Good facility. Lots of activities possible. From a simple walk around the park to playing baseball, cricket, soccer and any other activities that you may fancy. The half tennis court is pretty nice if you want to practice all by yourself. Also, has areas for young children to play. Overall, pretty good place. Minor gripe: wish they cut the grass and the weeds.

    I laid down, on a brand new wooden bench, long enough for my long frame (of which there are plenty, in this park), on my way home, on foot, from the bus terminal, to my rented room, in this low-cost, yet relatively quiet (and definitively culturally diverse!) area, that I live in. The weather was perfect, today--and plenty of people take advantage of this small park, with it's large grassy field, and long walking trail, around it's outer edge. I laid down, on a lovely new bench, in the shade, next to a bordering woods, and rested after a long, tiring day, on my way home, on foot, after my last bus ride (of the 4 buses, that I rode, today, that is). Later, I got up, and took a slight detour home, on foot, to pass by one of my favorite concentrations of mulberry trees, with tons of luscious purple fruit, now ripening on their low-lying, heavily-laden branches--and went home with purple fingers, purple lips--and even purple, on my glasses! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...yes, it was a good day--part of which was spent hanging out, in this small, cute (yet convenient, and well-used) park. And, tomorrow, I will go back there, to the community center, on the other end of the park--where I will work for 15.5 hours, as an election worker, for tomorrow's primary election (which is a little part-time gig for me, for only 1 day, every 6 months--that supplements my meager Soc Sec retirement benefits). And that community center, is only a mile away, from my residence, on foot--and since I walk approx. 15 miles a week, nowadays (including 3 or 4 miles, today, alone)--it is an easy trek, there, for me, on foot (although many others drive there, and lounge around in their cars, in that spacious parking lot, off Matilda Street--the main connecting road between Rt.27, Hamilton St., and Franklin Boulevard, here in the Somerset section, of Franklin Township, in Somerset County, New Jersey--the same county that my mother was raised in, btw--a century ago...) So, I give this cute (and functional) little place, a 4 star rating. (I only give 5 stars, to some of my GIRLFRIENDS, nowadays--not to no park, store, or any other PLACE! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

    I wish I could give no stars. This park is in need of serious repairs.

    Good clean park, with plenty of trees to sit under as they provide a great shade. Fields to practice sports, and well maintained courts.
