City of Trenton has done an excellent job fixing up the park. New benches and new playground. People do need to clean up after themselves though and throw away their trash.

One of two Historic City Owned Parks in Trenton designed by the "Father of Landscape Architecture" Frederick Law Olmsted. Needs some maintenance, under utilized. Gathering space for recreation. Excellent place for a walk, picnic or relaxing. Basketball courts, regionally recognized tennis courts/programs, softball/baseball fields, walking trails. Museum with a permanent colletion of historic artifacts, art gallery and shop, bathrooms and meeting space. Host location for various events from Spring to Fall.

This park is a hidden gem! Beautiful grounds and the mansion is a museum which is wonderful and the park is so nice and in the middle of Trenton! There is multiable BBQ grill stations and a newly redone play ground, the security is very good and very helpful, I met on security man and he told me about how it was back in the day and that he has been going there since 1965 and now he works at the park, he was very helpful. I would definitely go, bring some BBQ and grill up a snack under a tree! Show up early as it gets busy during the afternoon, what a hidden gem and there is reminents of the old zoo there as well!

Nice park to enjoy the outdoors. Beautiful landscaping, new benches and BBQs just bring your own charcoal. Lots of wildlife and since it's right next to canal some fishing opportunities. There is also a really nice playground area for the kids with many different age appropriate options.

Despite being a little apprehensive about this park due to the bad surrounding neighborhood, the park itself is lovely. They just built and opened a beautiful new playground. I am sad that I feel paranoid whenever I go into the park. To help this, I bring absolutely no valuables but my phone and leave long before sunset. Taking a walk in this park is great.

Great place as I grew up here, hit a home run on the baseball field or play ball at the courts, and even play tennis.

Big, beautiful park. Multi-tennis courts are available. T-ball area is included. Park is near the highway. Great place to run, do yoga or simple walk.

Great black experience this park was one of my child hood parks where the town come together.

The playground is huge and has lots of different things for kids to do! They also have roller skating in the pavilion near the playground around 5-6 pm.

Roebling Statue. Great new gym playground. Museum therein. 60 plus acres. Entry off rt 29 exit to Parkside avenue. Bathroom. Security vehicles due to questionable persons from blight area proximity. All children to be supervised by responsible adult. Frequent local events in daytime.

I grew up in this area, and it was a great experience to see people that I haven't seen in years. It was great food and hip hop music

After moving to Hiltonia in West Trenton I found the park walking my dog twice a day, it's a very nice place for just about anything you want to do outdoors, I recommend it to anyone visiting Trenton as it is a part of the history of the city and the man who designed it.

Peaceful, remove barricades.

Nice place for a family

Ellarslie Poetry with Yousef! Awesome!

Loved

Love walking there.

Ellarslie Museum is great!

Peaceful place to enjoy a relaxing moment in your day.

Went to the Trenton City Museum! Beautiful surroundings and lovely talk about the Trolleys.

Love it but dont like how they limited it to a dam circle

Loved it as a child 25 years ago & love the new memories with my daughters loving the experience now...my past & their present is beautiful summers to look foward to in the near future

I grew up going to this park. It's peaceful areas to walk/exercise. Just enjoy the environment

Beautiful walk along the canal

Place to chill and also watch the kids play

Great park to meditate, walk, and socialize.

Dont go there after dark😂😂😘

Beautiful playground, unique equipment for all ages. Would get 4 stars if not for lack of accessibility (parking lot a walk from playground; only one accessible swing; no ramps on equipment--most equipment requires mobility; wood chips instead of accessibility surface). Not the best swing equipment -- deep ruts, as happens with wood chips, and swings very high off ground. Not sure about bathrooms. Excellent for climbing.

Playground is nice but you can't park close to park you have to walk a ways to yhe park. No restrooms for kids to go to bathroom. They do have picnic areas where you can sit down.

They have really improved this park love that they have 24 hours security as well

I walk my dog, he loves the park. Security on duty, clean park. Restrooms clean, new picnic tables, clean playground

Make no mistake really a nice park quiet tranquil environment

Nice chill out spot nice park for kids

Looks the best I've seen in years. The grass was cut and it looked like a park not an empty lot.

Very run down overgrown and neglected. So sad that this was designed by the same man who did central park in NYC

Frederick Law Olmsted designed park famous for it's beautiful walks, gardens and bocce courts fallen into disrepair by inept City of Trenton government. However, Ellarslie, the city museum is beautiful with it's excellent collections of Trenton pottery from the past 120+ years when Trenton was pottery capital of the world.

Still needs a lot of attention, care and love to bring it back to the beautiful place it used to be 😊😊😊

Amazing museum and performance venue. Situated in the middle of beautiful Cadwalader Park, the Trenton City Museum within Ellarslie Mansion is a must-see and must-go!

I went there for the first time and felt like a safe space. The grounds were well kept. This park was designed for family gatherings and joyous celebrations. I would recommend this park for meditation only if you have extreme focus- I'm talking Yoda, Master Splinter, Grand Lotus, etc. Otherwise, you need to go explore a quieter area of the park with less distractions. The reason I gave it three stars is because the roads need to be clearly marked for EXIT. There were motorists going top speed the opposite way down the one way streets.

It is scenic place when looking for a venue to entertain out of state grandchildren

The children's playground is fantastic. There is a variety of equipment and a soft surface to prevent scrapes from falls. My grandchildren love it!

Historic park with a large variety of trees. Deer walking freely. Canal path adjacent. Hilly.

Great place to take a morning stroll through with your family or by yourself.

Great place to relax!

Its so beautiful and they have a wonderful kids playground that is new

The play ground is beautiful

We love walking this park.

No rest rooms

Chillin until the cops shut it down

Fun park for kids

Lot of people around and atv bikes not a park to take kids to play

You feel meh

(Translated by Google) Excellent ,, 😂🤣 (Original) Excelente,,😂🤣

Always enjoy this museum. Interesting local exhibits and special shows. Nice gift shop.

Local with cute deer

Ellarslie is always worth a visit. In addition to the historical information upstairs, the exhibits on the first floor change a few times a year.

Nice exhibits. Friendly staff and volunteers. Parking hard on special event days

Nice oark

A beautiful place to go for a daily walk...a diamond in the rough ☆☆☆

I had the pleasure back in 1972 to be interduce to this park. It was the place I went to just to clear my thoughts or just to have fun. I haven't been back in years but when I do return that will be one place I must visit 😌 ☺️
