Dog policy Leashed Dogs Welcome

Northern Community Park has a nice mix of everyday park amenities and more natural areas. A paved path runs through the main recreation section, while wooded trails continue toward the Abbott Marshlands and Crosswicks Creek. There’s also a pond, a picnic grove, playgrounds, baseball fields, basketball courts, six pickleball courts, and Hanna Dog Park. Recent improvements added more walking paths, benches, trees, and updates around the picnic and creek areas.
