Parks & Playgrounds

There are several parks in Glen Rock, some of which are just green spaces and others with amenities ranging from playgrounds to tennis courts.

Glen Rock is also lucky enough to have easy access to the Bergen County Park system located at the intersection of Alan Road and Prospect Street.

The Glen Rock area provides park-goers with a surprising number of amenities all accessible via the multi-use path, including 2 tennis courts, a playground, picnic areas and 2 pavilions both with electric*. Model boating* and fishing can be enjoyed at the pond (NJ State Fishing License Required) (*permit required). In winter the park remains open for ice-skating when conditions allow.

County Parks & Bike Paths

The Saddle River County Park, maintained and operated by the Bergen County Parks Department, is a 577-acre park that meanders with the Saddle River right through Glen Rock. There are five major park areas (one of which is the Glen Rock area) that are linked by a bike and pedestrian path that travels from Ridgewood to Rochelle Park and is approximately 6 miles in length.

The Bergen County Park System features a nationally accredited zoo, five golf courses, 21 parks, two horseback riding areas, an environmental center, and nine historic sites.
