Leonard Gordon Park is such a gem, with its lush greenery and those awesome buffalo statues that everyone loves. The playground and basketball courts make it perfect for families and friends to hang out, while the serene vibe and winding paths are great for a peaceful stroll or a relaxing picnic. It’s like a little slice of nature right in Jersey City, and the community feel makes it even better! Sunset here are gorgeous !

I went to this park first time on 16th April 2022. It's a small but beautiful park. There are some game areas where people were playing cricket (there's lot of Indian community nearby) and also there was kid's zone. This is a lush green park with beautiful trees and you can see ample of squirrels running around. Peaceful area where you can spend an hour or two.

Great old 90 foot tall trees and vistas. Undulating hills of spacious green lawns. Amazing sculptures of animals by artist Borglum. Soon to begin renovations finally to restore the gazebo, monuments, sidewalks and courts.

Small and beautiful park lot of interactive activities for toddlers. And a separate space for playing basket ball and also have space for playing cricket. It also have big space for running. Its easy to reach here as it right on john F Kennedy Boulevard and near to journal square. You can sit here and see sunset, its amazing experience. Also in winters after snow fall you can use sled to slide, its fun.

I used to go every day for morning walks. The place is huge, clean and quiet. I would highly recommend going there and taking a walk. Recommended for family specially with small kids, I bet they would love this place.
