Equipment - 4.5/5
Parking - 4/5

This park has a super unique set of medium and high bars with any height you need, plus the bars are very wide making it great for freestyle, especially for practice. The dip bars have many heights too but they are narrower than usual. There are a few other workout areas along the walking path. I like to do street parking on the other side of the main pull up bar area but there is also parking lots on the main entrance to the park. *There are porter potties that I use however I am not sure if there are other facilities as I never checked the buildings in the main area of the park.

Lincoln Harbor Park, Weehawken (visited April 2026)
Equipment - 5/5
Parking - 2.5/5
Bathrooms - Unknown
I visited on a Thursday afternoon so was able to easily find street parking but I remember visiting a few years ago on the weekend and I did not find any parking. This park is possibly the most unique park in our area, with a ton of calisthenics and ninja equipment. It has a really unique pull up structure with multiple bar heights, the tallest climbing ropes and towers I've seen, many dip bars, medium bars and stepping platforms along with various ninja equipment. I did not notice any bathrooms but also did not look much. It is along the water so it is a beautiful park. It is right next to a playground so lots of kids running around. It is about 5 minutes walking distance to the Weehawken Softball Field Park which may be worth checking out.

This park is within walking distance to Lincoln Harbor Park about 5 minutes away. Lincoln Harbor is a much better park, however this park is still very good and has some uniqueness to it such as waist high rings. There was plenty of parking in the public parking lot on the Thursday afternoon I visited but I imagine it is harder on the weekends. I did not notice any bathrooms.
Viaduct Park, Hoboken (Visited April 2026)
Equipment - 4/5
Parking - 1/5
Bathrooms - 3/5
There was a lot of construction going on when I visited and although I found street parking, it seemed to be the last spot and I only noticed around 20-30 total spots, all street parking. There are clean porter potties right next to the park but it may be there because of the construction. This park is honestly great, I love the wide pull up bars of varying heights along with a neutral grip pull up bar, and it has dip bars, bench, and low bar.
