Waterfall trail and playground
Grace Lord Park in Boonton sits along the Rockaway River gorge, just minutes from Main Street, with a short trail to waterfalls, an old footbridge, and a playground at the top for families who want to split time between exploring and sitting.
Free · Outdoor
The upper playground and picnic area is flat and easy.
Footing near the falls gets slippery after rain or in freeze-thaw weather; take it slowly.
Street parking only near the playground; arrive early on warm weekends to avoid circling a residential street.
The walk to the waterfalls is about 30 minutes round trip, not a full afternoon hike.
