The park area is lovely, but, sadly, too many visitors have become lazy when it comes to the easiest of pandemic health protocols! Playground should post signs stating FACE COVERINGS REQUIRED! This is a Playground, afterall! Protect the children, protect the caregivers.

Nice park along the Raritan river. Baseball, Soccer fields, lit tennis courts. Exercise circuit. Pretty clean and well maintained.

Nice public park with great views of the river. Also has several areas for sports playground and good track for running.

This is such a cute park, not too big but just enough, very safe and clean great for the family, nice dog park and many fields for sports and playgrounds!

Love this park. Great for walking,Jogging, biking. Or just watching the fish jump in the river as you enjoy a picnic. Easy access to New Brunswick and Edison.

This is my favorite dog park in the area. There are many places for people to sit throughout the park. Water is always available. There are two parks. One park is for dogs under 25 pounds and the other is for dogs over 25 pounds. This park usually has more dogs than other dog parks nearby.

Great place to hang out.. even go fishing.. Parks Dept. Does a great job keeping the park beautiful!!Take your dog to the Dog Park and have fun with other friendly dogs

Nice place to hangout. Its like centre of the town and connects another big park. If you are not finding any spot here, you can drive 5 mins to another near by park.You wont find a table to do barbecue or have lunch. This need to be booked in advance.Parking is available every corner of this park.

This is a large park that is well maintained and scenic. Its a nice place to pull up a tree and kick back with some lunch or to take a leisurely stroll or an energetic run through.

It is big and beautiful.Enough space for you to social distance.Park was very clean which is a plus for me.

Its a big park and well maintained. The childrens playing area is wonderful. There are picnic spots too with lots of sitting area sorrounded by trees, so there was a lot of shade. You can cycle too or take a long walk. There are tennis courts as well.

Nice park few minutes walk from busy street on RT 27.

Really nice park, lots of things to do river runs along one side, baseball diamonds, dog parks and much more.

A pleasant park by the Raritan River with playgrounds, picnic benches, a jogging path, tennis courts, a dog run & a boat ramp.

Clean and cozy. You can run, walk or bbq around...

Donaldson Park always hits the spot! Its not that big but it sure is beautiful. Theres almost a magic to its beauty. It can be crowded at times but there is space to run, walk or bike and plenty of benches and grass to sit on. There are also several sports fields and tennis courts. And a dog park!

Amazing Park a lot of ground to walkBasketball, and baseball field everything that you ever want

I had my kids graduation BBQ party there. We reserved groove 1 for our party. The place is very clean and spacious. Great for parties with social distance.

Awesome park. I thought I did a review of it already, but if I didnt. Its a great place for the whole family. Nice clean place. I recommend anyone to visit and give it a try.

Dog park, huge kids play area, river bbqs. Love this little park.

Great playground just wish they had a few shade sails up, slides and other equipment gets hot in the summer (we went at 10am)

Good place, big area, not crowded, various territorial, nice walkway paths.

Its a good park to spend your time work family and friends. Good waking and playing area, lots of barbeque points, Raritan river bank..... What you need to enjoy your time....

Awesome place to walk in both pre and post covid times

Wonderful park with a variety of spaces and sports fields. Just dont go swimming!

Lovely park with so much to offer, a true gem of Higland Park and Middlesex county. There is a promenade along the Raritan River, two playgrounds, a boat ramp, dog park, fishing pond, paths for waking and biking, sports fields, basketball courts, and lately live bagpipe music every evening near the boat ramp. Summer evenings are a wonderful time to go with kids.

Great for taking a long walk. Clean, well kept and peaceful.

I love Donaldson Park. I like going there in the morning to read books by the lake and at the evening I go to work out or simple have a walk by the river or just to sit and relax.

Very pretty, nice areas to walk and plenty more

Very nice park. First time here. Theres soccer fields, baseball, nice walking paths.

The park was so clean and the bathrooms were super clean. Will come back.

On a day when the weather is good, this park is the best! Lots of space to run around at the kids playground and weve also held birthday parties and impromptu picnics here. Would give 5 stars if there was any type of shade in the kids playground for those hot summer days. I tend to go to other parks with better shade on those days.

We went on winter. This park need some maintainace towards of cleaning falkan tree sticks and certain mould in shelters. Otherwise, it’s a good park.

Beautiful park for walking, has plenty of exercise equipment on the health trail, two playgrounds, and lots of places to sit. A lot of nature to view if youre quiet and patient (deer, red wing blackbirds, woodpeckers, squirrels, grackles, herons, ducks and hawks).

Donaldson Park offers the perfect morning jog.

Get a lots of fresh air and exercise

This is a lovely park to go to, wether you go with the family or for someone that wants to exercise, jog and run, stay fit or get ready for summer 2020

Lots of open space and many activities and facilities available to you.

Great Day at Donaldson Park boat ramp

Great Neighborhood Park! Great place for kids, family and for runners

Good place to walk around and take a phonecall

Great for family get-togethers

Nice park specially in morning and afternoon

My kids had a blast here! Lots of playground equipment and open space

Beautiful park lovely

A wide expanse to walk, run or exercise in. Plenty of exercise stations too. The views across the Raritan river are gorgeous. Plus, for those so inclined, there is a dog park. This is a park for relaxation, recreation and enjoyment. A true natural treasure.

Pretty park near the river. Plenty of picnic areas. There are baseball diamonds and basketball courts, playground equipment, a boat dock. There is a mile long path around the park with fitness stations for strengthening various muscle groups. We had our church picnic there today, and it was lovely!

Best, cleanest dog park Ive been to. Park itself is beautiful and easy to get to.

Was mostly flooded along the River banks...could not GO all round BUT THE DOG PARK WAS NICE AND CLEAN

Enough amount of space, just lacks volleyball court. Has tennis, basketball, football, soccer. Also has dog park. There is river by side where you can do jetski, and fishing.

Clean and well maintained

Always a pleasure. So peaceful and has 2 playgrounds. Park was pretty flooded from the river last time we went so half the walking trail was cut off.

Very very open park! So clean and so much space to do so many activities especially for children! Great for working out and just relaxing.

Its a decent park. Good place to walk the dogs

Good exercise

Great multi option park with fields for everything! And picnic areas all over the place. Restrooms as well.

Nice park for dogs

Living in close proximity to this park for many years Ive seen it change all for the better. One thing though has not changed. The Raritan River which flows next to the park. When the river overflows its banks the park is a lake. The unseen nasties deposit themselves into the soil. This is something to consider. The Raritan River is the 12th most polluted river in the United States.

Beautiful public park! This is a well maintained large area with dog park, ball fields, picnic area, boat launch, gazebos, and so much more. Bring your family for a bbq in the park, the scenery is amazing!

Beautiful park

Really nice and big place for family gathering

Nice place to bring the kids

Its a good for my walking

Large park ideal for get togethers, birthday parties and reunions. You are able to reserve spaces which is great but at a cost. Downsides are bathrooms although centrally located to all spaces, due to size if park it is a long walk. A river with a boat ramp is good and bad as it is a danger for young children but great for those who want to enjoy water sports. All in all I would highly recommend and actually have used this park 4 years in a row.

Great park. Floods a bit easily, but there are plenty of open fields and walking by the river is great. Plenty to do here!

Family friendly

Good place to relax and exercised

We go there to walk and I must say, it is a beautiful place for a little work out.

Family oriented

Great park for the kids, lots of areas and different sized parts.

Nice local park with tennis, basketball etc. Came for the July 4 celebration.

Donaldson Park is a small park in Highland Park, NJ bordering on the Raritan River. It has a picnic area where people of all ages can find an activity to participate in. There are playgrounds, tennis courts, softball fields, volleyball area, and you can even fish in the river. I lived in the area for 41 years and had much benefit from it. Try it out.

Cool park, here for a Geocaching event on this cold black Friday morning.

Its a lovely park and is used by people for all sorts of activities. The only issue is that when there is only a moderate amount of rain, the walking/bike path is covered in water in a number a places, making those parts unusable. People either turn around or try to walk around through muddy water. It would be great if they could figure out some sort of drainage system or a way to redirect the water in those 5-6 areas that are often underwater.

Its a nice park to visit and walk around

A decent park with a nice path along the perimeter. Also has a playground and dog park. Theres a pretty major flooding problem though so if its rained recently, certain paths may be impassable.

It has exercise routines as you pass checkpoints and is a peaceful place to spend time.

We go every year during 4th July for their spectacular fire works.They really do very good arrangements.

Donaldson Park is a great park for family unity, sports activities, and venues of sorts. I have been a resident of Highland Park, NJ for 18 years and the serenity and peace of its parks and recreational facilities are amazing!

Buitifull park, with slides and more for the kids.

Nice park for jogging, playing and BBQ at summer. Huge parking lot .

Had picnic and chaath puja this year from BJANA family. Wonderful place for fun and entertainment.

Its a small park for a short wall.

Very spacious. Well kept by the patrons. Nice for walking, jogging and picnics. Good scenery by the river. The view would be better if the weeds on the bank could be trimmed down.

Great access to the river!

Great walking area

At least the times that I have been there it wasnt very busy and folks seem to be considerate of each others social distancing

Soccer, baseball and basketball. Awesome place for running and I seen people go fishing and BBQ parties.

If you play Pokemon Go theres a LOT of stops & gyms here in pretty easy to walk loop around the park. Plus playgrounds & etc. for normal park stuff

Good park

Great park for walking, playing at playgrounds, and playing Pokemon Go! Lots of groves to have picnics, soccer pitches and baseball fields give you any of space to play and theres even a put-in for your boat.

Donaldson park has a large, main playground thats usually full of kids, and a second smaller playground space to the West thats often pretty quiet. There are bathrooms within walking distance of both playgrounds, but they close in the cold weather. Other than that, great location for playdates and family hangouts!The tennis courts and basketball courts are often active if youre looking for a pick-up game.

Nice big playgrounds, exercise stops, restrooms

Such a nice place

Nice facilities . . . spacious . . . ample parking . . . good trails

Nice park along Raritan. You can watch Rutgers crew.

Well maintained

Green Park with lots of big trees. Wonderful breeze. Great place for bbq and picnic.

Small park so while the track is short its also not crowded. I like coming here in the summer cause there are a lot of soccer nets.

Its a gorgeous park in all seasons of the year. You may enjoy walking, jogging, running, exercising, riding your bike and observing nature. Its a lovely place for picnics. There are two nice playgrounds for children.
