    Beautiful, peaceful and quiet. This park is wheelchair accessible. Pet friendly. Portable toilets on site. I highly recommend this park! This location has a soccer field as well as a baseball field. Walking path is clean!

    Pretty park. I like that the trees shade most of the walking path. Enjoyed walking with my husband and pup. Saw lots of squirrels, chipmunks, and Canadian Geese. Plenty of benches to sit and have a picnic.

    It's a lovely park for sure. However, one must still be mindful of the environment. Most of the time, it's clean and very well kept. But in recent visits, I've found it to often have broken glass and other hazardous items in the direct area where children are. Be sure to always keep an eye on your little ones and for the ones who can understand. Be sure to explain what things to be mindful of. Overall, it's one of our favorite parks. I'm the area. The cushioned ground area is a huge perk.

    Beautiful park Plenty of street parking

  • 5/5 Jeremy W. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome big playground that my 3 year old absolutely loved. Though he definitely is a bit of a dare devil there is a nice area for younger kids as well. All fenced in so don't have to worry and we'll maintained with public restrooms. Parking isn't the best and so we had to find parking on centre street near Nutley diner. The parking lot next to it is private and will get your car towed so be careful.

    This delightful park is always full of people. The equipment is sectioned for toddlers and older kids, so the littles dont get overwhelmed by the more rambunctious school aged children. There are many sensory stations and lots of climbing possibilities. My 19 month grandson always has a great time!

    Nice park. Plenty of street parking. Clean Restrooms

    Yanticaw Park is the largest and by far, the most athletically inclined of what I like to refer as the "String of Six Parks" in Nutley (north to south: Kingsland, Memorial 3, 2, and 1, Yanticaw, and Booth). Clocking in at just under 30 acres, and bordered by Chestnut Street on the north, Centre Street on the south, and Passaic Avenue on the east, its' keynote features are a huge basketball court and two ballfields. There also are amply shaded walking paths and numerous benches for relaxing upon. The Cocchiola Playground is on the south (Centre Street) side of the park.

    Great spot and location for Nutley Parents. Rides and swings bigger than other parks near by. Excessive use causes wear and tear and it needs relayering soon. Also wish rest rooms were open longer in summers

  • 5/5 Sabrina S. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful. Quiet. Perfect place for a lunch, a walk, or even just a peaceful sit outside.

  • 5/5 Lexx S. 11 months ago on Google
    I seldom leave my town of Kearny to take my kids to a park, but I do like this one in particular. Has to be an off day because during weekend or after school there are just too many kids. But it is a great area

  • 5/5 Priscilla J Lamarche M. 10 months ago on Google
    It is a beautiful park good for the whole family in which you can walk, bike or skate. Exercising, watching the children play on the swings, enjoying nature in general and being close to everything. My family and friends love this park.

  • 5/5 Jenna S. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking isn't great, but nice park that actually has a merry go round! My 6 and 9 year olds had a blast! It wasn't too crowded and there are plenty of benches for parents

  • 4/5 Ivana A. 1 year ago on Google
    Is nice place 👌🏼 👏 👍🏻 good for the kids. In summer time.

  • 5/5 Juan M. 1 year ago on Google
    It was quite hot on the day we visited, there's no parking available. Parked on the street and walked down to this kids park. It is enormous, entertaining, with tons of places to play, had a mist shower for these particular hot days, and quite a few benches both at the sun and shadow. Don't forget to bring something to drink. Have fun!

    The playground is to much like brookdale park I get bored of it within a few minutes the old yantacaw playground is better

  • 5/5 C. G. 2 years ago on Google
    This park is so beautiful. I typically go to lil burgers on Franklin Ave get some food and park and eat with the wife. After our meal we take a nice peaceful walk through the park. BEAUTIFUL.

  • 5/5 Rafael G. 2 years ago on Google
    Take a nice stroll around the baseball field to the lower section, where there's a kiddie playground and a portable restroom, and continue across center Ave to the other side to Harrison ave. It's tranquil and serene with the brook flowing through the middle. Your pup will love the walk. Or take it all the way up to Kingsland ave on the Clifton border for a good cardio workout and scenery.

  • 5/5 Lateicha M. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and serene place that is great for reflection and prayer. We saw tadpoles and a couple of ducks. I really enjoyed my time here hanging out by the water with my church family.💞

  • 5/5 Camille N. 3 years ago on Google
    This park is perfect if you want fresh air and if you need a relaxing stroll. It is clean and the flowing stream adds a unique aspect of this local park.

  • 5/5 K M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice walk. The park connects to Memorial Park and Kingsland park, so we walked through all three. It was about 3+ miles.

  • 5/5 Angela K. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great place to walk. It has a pretty sky view along one stretch. You can also continue down to the neighboring park and walk along the stream.

  • 4/5 Helen O. 3 years ago on Google
    An extensive park with walk and cycling trails. Play section for children, courts for different games. The trees gives it the serenity we all deserve from time to time. Of course there seats well spaces out that social distance is maintained. I enjoyed my time there and would like people to try this park.

👍 Rode my friends bike around a portion of this pretty park. The water is calming to view while walking or riding bikes. The park could use some flowers or garden areas but otherwise, loved it. I liked having the crossing guards holding traffic over the streets you crossed over.

👍👍 Quaint park with a small playground and walking path. The path goes back a little farther than it looks as it crosses the old train tracks which used to run into NYC.

👍👍 I visited for an event and it was such a lovely space...parking can be hard to find if your event is well attended. The residential neighbors definitely don't want to be encroached upon. I am looking to host an event here now. The location is great and the space perfect and easy to decorate
