B U TEA FULL. Thanks hobokenmetromom for inviting us to crash the party.  Our drive to Ross Park was so exciting for my boys since we went under a cross-section of the George Washington Bridge.  I wish I took a picture of it, but it’s one of those things you don’t think about.  My oldest is very attached to one of the suspension bridges from Thomas the Tank (he’s brought it to bed with hiim on more than one occasion).  Once you got there, it was playground heaven! Great for big kids and there is also a smaller structure.  Take a look at the pictures to see all of the equipment.  My boys had a blast.  Lots of kids, grilling, and bathrooms are next to the parking lot. You can’t beat the view, lovely! Bring your mosquito repellant, at night we started to get some bites.

PS: Kids love feeding the ducks from the rocks (if they are there) but you should be very careful with the rocks on the edge.
