Visited the grand lovely park ground twice with family members during my recent visit to USA for evening stroll and outing. So fascinating the place appeared that I insisted on visiting this again.The second visit happened to coincide with the last weekend before summer schedule and re-opening of school. The Picnic Area with its crowd and unbridled fun looked like a distracting mess. I hope that the Mercer County Administration must exercise a greater vigilance to leave the spot most enjoyable for genuine nature lovers. The most enjoyable event for us was boating in the second visit and a pensive promenade with family members in the first visit.
My favorite place to walk locally. Always see people biking, walking their dogs, enjoying a beautiful day. The marina is great, and there are tennis courts, a dog park, and many fields for all the sports and events. I used to see more animals there (deer and hedgehogs mostly). You can have a relaxing walk or get in some good exercise, lots of paths in the woods and out. Right now there is still a detour from the Old Trenton Road entrance, so I have been using the entrance down the street from the deli.
We go here to mountain bike the trails in the woods, but there are many paved areas to walk or ride. If you find the right trail it takes you to the dock on the lake. Shhhhhh. :-)
What a wonderful park. Beautiful lake, boating and fishing. Walking and Bike trails. All sports fields and lots of them. Wonderful USTA. Tennis facility, indoor and outdoor courts. Skating Rink seasonal. Plus special events, fairs, fireworks, check the web site. This park is clean safe and as nice as it gets for everyone!
lots of outdoor and indoor activities...never realized i had such wonderful facilities so close to home.
We spent the day geocaching in this large park. Lake, hills, trails, woods, memorials...you name it this place has it!
The Festival is always a good time for all the ethnic food is delicious. Together with all the special foods and drinks too. It brings back the good old days and my Mothers specialties, etc. You gotta go there to have fun. Bob Lecato Mercerville NJ 08619
Doesn't really get used that much. Locals may beg to differ but come to So Cal and see what heavy usage is. The grounds are well kept. the Lake is terrific. There are two golf courses as well. Nice place for an afternoon snooze.
Mercer Park offers a lot of things for everyone. There are picnic locations, fishing, playgrounds, tennis, soccer fields and trails. During the seasons there are plenty of gatherings Dog shows, and festivals.
