1001 Hudson Street, Hoboken, NJ. You can park in the residential permit only parking spots as long as it is less than 4 hours. I failed to read the sign so got a metered spot on Sinatra Drive that goes up to 12 hours, 25 cents/every 15 min. It was refreshing to spend the

In the vicinity (east) of Jane Terrace and W. Mendham Rd., Mendham, NJ. About 8 miles west from Morristown (Washington St. & Western Ave)..

Dodge Field, Madison, NJ

Greenwood Avenue and Chapel street, Madison NJ. What a great park, walking distance to the train station. I’m not familiar with Madison parks, but I love this playground with the central gazebo where you can keep track of the kids, mostly fenced with a rock wall, swings, slides, sandbox, and restrooms really closeby. Tennis

Has a great sandbox with toys, swings, slides, and restrooms
