This park has pull up bars, dip bars, medium bars, ladder, benches, and monkey bars. It could use a wider pull up bar for freestyle and none of the equipment is unique. It also has a ton of walking/jogging paths, including a public running track and clean bathrooms 5 minute walk north of the workout area. A lot of free parking. It's a popular place to exercise.

This park is set in a nice park with soccer fields that hosts sporting events during warm weather, which includes a fun concession stand. There is a nice walking/jogging path and the parking lot is big and free. I am not aware of many other calisthenics parks in this area which is a part of the reason for it's A-Tier listing.

This park has a ton of great equipment packed in a small area. It is beside a playground, so expect children to run around. It has a great decline bench, perfect angle and sturdy. The pull up bars are also nice and wide with two heights.

This park is located in Fort Lee, notorious for tough parking. There is metered parking for this park except during early morning or late at night. I don't come here very often, but I noticed one time the bathroom was locked. The equipment iteself is decent and has various benches, including a backboard for wall ball, ladder, dip bars, and pull up bars.

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.

This park has low, medium and high bars including rings, however they are at a high level so only good for pulling exercises. It has good dip bars and a unique straight super low bar. The park itself is amazing, a perfect bicyc.e lane and jogging paths making this park very popular. There is also a big local calisthenics community.

There are two calisthenics parks right next to each other here, both along the water with excellent views. This first one seems older, but has great equipment. It has pull up bars that are wider and lower than normal, perfect for dynamic freestyle. Plus it has dip bars, medium and low bars and various low effort machines.

There are two calisthenics parks right next to each other, both along the water with excellent views. Note that the one time I came, it was windy. This park seems newer of the two, and has dip bars, pull up bars, medium and low bars, monkey bars, bench/step platforms, and a few low effort machines. I noticed porter potties for bathrooms but unsure if there were more facilities.

These "Fitness Courts" style parks are popular and common as I've seen them before, but this is the first I've found in our Bergen County area. It is nice and modern, and nearly all of its features are unique. There are several rings at different heights, pushup handles with many grips, a bunch of steps and ledges, an awesome bench for back extensions, plus some pull up bars and a unique dip bar structure. It is in a great location at a nice park in downtown Garfield close to train station and many stores. Tons of parking and porter potties.
