Thomas A. Edison County Park

Thomas A. Edison Park is a public park located in Edison, New Jersey. The park spans approximately 37 acres and is situated on Christie Street, near the site where Thomas Edison's original Menlo Park laboratory once stood.

The park features a mix of open green spaces, wooded areas, and recreational facilities. At its center stands the Edison Memorial Tower, a 131-foot concrete-and-steel structure completed in 1938 to honor the famous inventor.
