Division Avenue and Jewell St., Garfield, NJ. (I use 137 Division Avenue as an approximate address) Playground is open to the public but sprinkler park is only for Garfield residents. We don’t live in Garfield so we didn’t experience it, but managed to take pics of it, (it was after hours when we went). Looks really neat though. The hours are 10:30AM- 5:30pm for the Spray Park for residents and members only. I’m not sure how you can be a member, maybe a Garfield resident can comment below.
Im a Garfield resident and I would like to know how I can be a member for the sprinkler part? Please advice as soon as possible – thank you
I think you can just go, but not 100% sure, check with your township municipal directory, let us know how it goes!
Will do – thank you!
if you arent a member it cost $5 for one day ages 3 and up, become a member at the ymca
Very cool place. One con to it though, unless it’s changed since I checked last year, they aren’t open weekends. You can get a season pass through City Hall I believe and def worth it if you plan to go more than a few times. Highly recommended for a scorcher of a day.
It says residents and members only, If I am not a resident, would they allow me to purchase a day pass? I love in Belleville and this is the only place close to us that has a sprinkler park, essex county doeesn’t have anything like this for the kids.
Margarita you can go to Lyndhurst Town park all non-residents can use it
Today is 7-5-12 and the town hall told me the spray park is for residents only. Bummer.
the water paek can be used by non residents for a $5.oo fee. Excellent Park, ad Idea. good changing facilities.
I went there today 7-7-04, and was told it was for residents only–and there is a $5 fee for residents.
You can purchase a pass at the recreation center in garfield,at midland ave,but you have to show id that you live in garfield.If you go straight to the sprinklers,you can get in for 5$ a person,under 5 years kids are free,and they don’t usually check the id to let you in.They are open on Saturdays too,but in Lyndhurst sprinkler park,it’s 1$ to get in so cool too.Hope it helps:)
So, someone mentioned membership through ymca? If I am a member of the YMCa in garfield is there a fee? I do not feel like walking there to find out I have to pay a fee.
If you live in Garfield you need to fill out this application: http://garfieldnj.org/filestorage/2184/2214/REG_FORM_WATER_PARK.pdf.
Return it to the Recreation Department M-F between 10am and 3pm: Ann & Sam Sangis Recreation Center

Season Pass is : $20 per child (kids under 5 are free but still need to register to get the pass).
Hope that helps (Mommy of 2)
