Reviews of Military Park (Park)

speed lyfe

Great place to visit. I love that you have many different things to do especially for the children. The only thing they need to work on is keeping the bathroom clean when they have events or extra portable bathrooms.

Irving Roman

I sit in this park almost every day for lunch. Such a great relaxing time. So different from how this park was in the 90s I actually love spending time here now and walking around it after filling my stomach.

Went to an African Festival at this park. Parking was really easy because under the park is a parking deck. It was too expensive for the parking. The park was full of venders and activities. A stage was up also for the event where bands played and announcements were made. I am not sure how the park is when there is no events taking place but, it was a nice place within a busy city.

This place has come a long way, currently modeled after NYC's Bryant Park, with many free classes and events, chairs, library, restrooms, carousel (event though music was not working 9/18). Easier to come with out a car and not have to deal with parking.

Kimberly Klotz

Military Park is a really nice park with a small partially open grass area, tables and chairs you can sit at under the big trees and every so often- more often in the warmer months- they hold events like Farmers markets and other things.

Nino Brown

demetris tucker

Good spot to sit and enjoy. Have ping-pong tables and good Pokémon around

Rolando Aguirre

Chill park. Whenever I walk past it, there's rarely anyone there. I wonder why. There's two individuals commemorated here: Samuel Brummer, WW2 veteran, and Jorge Oliveira, Afganistan veteran. Brummer is of polish descent and Oliveira of Portuguese descent.

Nice to sit on benches. Now Newark is being built since the Prudential Building they are a lot more Stewart to look around and go to

Michael Bosch

As a six year resident of Newark NJ who leaves near Military park and a community activist against social injustice I love the positive changes and transformation of the park entertainment it provides from Rutgers NJPAC Prodential and and city hall which is giving the park downtown and the city a new face

Need more attention. Maintenance really poor

Scottye Battle

Almost always scattered with people from all walks of life. And in the summer there are events, and dance parties regularly. There are places to sit but not that many, a grassy area, Statues honoring those who have served and there are plenty of places right across the street to grab something to drink to bring it back and relax.

Military Park was a short walk from our hotel (TRYP Hotel). It was a cute but well maintained park with some interesting statues and things to look at. From a bust of JFK, a military statue led by George Washington to a cute little carousel, we enjoyed a short walk before making our way back to our hotel. At 8:00 there were a member of people in the park and we felt very safe.

Anne Fernandena

This is a beautiful little park set right in the middle of downtown Newark. There is a very good restaurant, Burg here with outdoor seating. Alas, it is only open on weekdays. The park itself has many nice seating areas in beautifully landscaped gardens. They have a small carousel, charging stations, and a lot of special programing such as outdoor films and yoga, free concerts, etc.

This parking garage it's usually pretty good. It solves my parking issue when I have to work in Newark. Last time I was there, it was not that good for me though. I couldn't park because there was so.e event at the Prudential Center and apparently they were using it for that purpose. So keep this in mind, when you need to use this parking garage. BTW prices are not bad
