I have driven by there many times and have seen even the passive field being used for sports. Why can’t there ever be a place that is passive around here. I feel for those folks who live there. Soccer, baseball, lacrosse on the passive side all the while a for profit business with camps, fueled trips and busses!!! I had to pass a chartered bus once parked hillcrest rd!! These folks don’t get a break. Why can’t there be a place for us seniors or childless people to sit in a park and relax. I thought passive meant passive. Especially when there are sport fields 100 feet away. Wake up Ridgewood. That’s why us seniors are moving away!!!!
Schedler seems pretty passive right now. Spending a few million bucks of your neighbors’ money on that not enough?
There are 10 public areas, and the five listed below are ENTIRELY passive. The other 5 have combination active/passive.
Grove Park (32 acres)
Kings Pond/Gypsy Pond (11 acres)
North Road (2.5 acres)
Twinney Pond(4 acres)
Dunham Trail (1/4 mile straight path)

Schlinder hasn’t been developed yet. This would be a great place to have a passive park.
Thank you Ellie and Ridgeowod Wildscape.
We have the parks but they are underutilized. We can’t expect a large greenspace in the middle of town. Ridgewood is built-out. Enjoy what you have or go to the county bike path.
Don’t expect the town to create a park for passive, except for Schindler there is no place for one.
Leuning Park is another one
How many of these are on the west side????
