MILITARY PARK REVIEWS
I had a great time. The improving environment of downtown Newark can be seen daily. This was taken after getting off the light rail, charging my phone and using Newark Fiber free wifi to pay my past due phone bill while meditating medicinally. I then played chess and watched the festivities. Newark is a great city.
Great experience. To see history in person is still a great thing
Beautiful park to just sit and have lunch when the weather is warmer

INDEPENDENCE PARK REVIEWS
I love this park. They have a great playground, volleyball court, basketball court, baseball field, and some soccer fields. Plenty of space to walk on pavement and very dog-friendly. There are great food options offered by food trucks. All around great park!
This is a fantastic place to take the kids for a cheap but fun day out. There is plenty of things for them to climb on and slide down to keep them occupied for hours!
Great place to take the kids to hang out with friends, playing area great, lots of good stuff to do when you're there.
