Fords Park

Fords Park is a 32-acre recreational area located on King George's Post Road in the Fords section of Woodbridge, New Jersey. Dedicated on June 5, 1999, this park offers a scenic retreat in a densely populated part of Middlesex County.

The park features a picturesque pond near its center, providing a tranquil setting for relaxation and nature appreciation. Visitors can enjoy jogging on the pathways, fishing in the pond, or playing tennis on the available courts. The park's wooded areas offer a peaceful escape from the surrounding urban environment.

Fords Park caters to various recreational interests with its diverse amenities. It includes facilities for sports enthusiasts, such as baseball fields, basketball courts, and tennis courts. For those seeking leisure activities, there are picnic groves and playgrounds. The park also features a street hockey rink, which is available seasonally.

Recent additions to the park include twelve pickleball courts, reflecting the growing popularity of this sport. The renovation project also brought new shaded seating areas, overhead lighting, restroom facilities, fresh landscaping, new walkways, and a repaved parking lot. These improvements have enhanced the park's functionality and appeal for visitors.

The park's location near major roadways like the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike makes it easily accessible, though this proximity can occasionally result in some traffic noise for park-goers.
