    I loved this place, its a best and beautiful quick weekend picnic spot with friends and family. The first thing you should see over here once you reach at this place is the beautiful lake named Mercer Lake where you can do boating or can row your own kayak. There is a big beautiful boathouse as well, its a perfect place to organize your family events like outside wedding ceremony or birthday parties. I saw a secluded area as well where there were slides and other active games for children. Trust me this place is a complete package for all ages. Why still waiting, go grab your bag and pack it with some picnic stuff and go for weeewnd ... Have fun! Ciao!

    Festival at the park. Great food, low prices. Kids had a good time on the rides, and I suggest getting the wristband. The kiosks did not explain the card vs. wristband as a new person to this festival from out of state. Still worth it though.

    Excellent place to enjoy a walk, playing, people watching and picnicking. There areas for baseball, tennis, racquetball, boating, bicycling, etc. Special events and concerts as well. The Boathouse is beautiful and ready for weddings, parties or meetings. There is a snack bar and clean restrooms as well as an outdoor gym space. Also there is a RV Camping area.

    One of the best parks around with lots of year round events! Nicer play ground for kids, boat rentals in summer/spring and public golf courses

    My son enjoys the playground and splash park. We also take boat tours which is nice to discover some of the wildlife in the lake. Mercer county residents get discounts for boat tours. Fun for the family also the splash park is free

    This is my absolute favorite park. Peaceful, beautiful views, clean, friendly crowd. Love to take my kids to the playground by the Marina, watch the sunset, and the kids love to look for deer on the way out. 💞

    Our review is about one particular area of Mercer County Park, specifically around the Mercer Park Boathouse, for otherwise Mercer County Park covers a huge area of over 2,500 acres, encompassing three townships (West Windsor, Hamilton, and Lawrenceville) and featuring endless attractions and different sections, from kiddie playgrounds to BBQ pits, basketball courts, two doggie parks (for smaller and bigger dogs), Mercer County Disk Golf Course, skating rink, softball and baseball fields, soccer stadium, cricket fields, Mercer County Festival Grounds and Mercer County Fairgrounds and Van Nest Wildlife Refuge, among other places of interest. Asphalt covered walking trails are found throughout the park as well as hiking paths. Public restrooms are available in abundance. Some of the BBQ grounds are equipped with grills; the one next to Mercer Park Boathouse offers two sizeable grills and even a sink. Comfortable benches are also widely available. Unlike the neighboring Veterans Park in Hamilton, the sheer size of Mercer County Park doesn't really feel cozy neither it is conducive to more private leisure time due to it being quite crowded, especially on the days of children sports tournaments and games with the cars arriving from the whole Tri-State area. Parking areas are more than numerous, and Mercer County Park is dog friendly and ethnic diversity friendly. The main access to the park is via its main thoroughfare Paxon Ave (not to be mistaken with the adjacent Paxon Ave in Hamilton Township) that opens on Hughes Drive to the east and Old Trenton (Edinburgh) Rd to the west. This axis is not very friendly designed, for both directions are one-way only with almost nonexistent u-turns. For the same reason, it is next to impossible to get from one side of the park to the opposite on foot. For the history aficionados, noteworthy is the John Rogers House Ruin (now partially reconstructed and preserved), which was built in 1761 and is believed to be the oldest existing structure in West Windsor Township; it is a good example of the 18th century brick architecture common in Delaware Valley.

    Huge park with lots of things to do. I grew up going to this park for a variety of reasons. The park has playgrounds, hockey/ice rink, soccer fields, boat house, lake, paths, pavilions, etc. I've been to many events here including a wedding, soccer tournaments, fairs, hockey games, kayaking, bike riding, etc. A hamilton twp. staple. I still haven't explored every part of this park and enjoy going to visit it when I'm in the area.

    Mercer County Park, nestled in the heart of Mercer County, New Jersey, is a true gem for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. The park's expansive landscape, covering over 2,500 acres, offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. One of the park's most captivating features is its ability to provide breathtaking views of both sunrises and full moons. Visitors are often left in awe as they witness the sky's transformation during these times, with vibrant hues during sunrises and the enchanting glow of the moon at night. The park's well-maintained trails and open spaces make it an ideal location for early morning walks or evening strolls, allowing one to fully immerse in these natural phenomena. Additionally, the park's diverse flora and fauna add to the overall experience, making each visit unique and memorable. Whether you're a photographer looking to capture the beauty of nature, a family seeking a peaceful outing, or an individual in search of tranquility, Mercer County Park is a destination that consistently delivers wonder and delight.
