Heards Brook Park is a public park located in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey. The park is centered around Heards Brook, a stream that flows through the heart of Woodbridge for approximately 1.8 miles before emptying into Woodbridge Creek.

The park features a wooded area that provides a natural habitat for local flora and fauna, offering visitors a chance to experience nature within an urban setting. Tree-lined stone pathways wind through the park, allowing for leisurely walks and opportunities to observe the brook and surrounding landscape.

Heards Brook Park serves as a popular recreational space for local residents. It includes picnic areas where families and groups can gather for outdoor meals. The park also contains basketball courts, providing active recreation options for visitors.

The brook itself is a focal point of the park, with its flowing waters adding a serene auditory element to the environment. The park's design incorporates stunning views of the brook, allowing visitors to appreciate the natural water feature from various vantage points.

This integration aims to create a larger network of open spaces connected by a bioswale, enhancing the park's ecological function and expanding its recreational potential.
