Recreational opportunities in Orange Township range from nature trails and paved paths to play and sports areas. This gives you different options when planning your visit: explore nature trails, choose a path that can be used year-round, or plan a weather-dependent winter activity. Each park has its own character, with offerings that vary by location.

Nature and paths in Glen Oak Park

Glen Oak Park has a small wooded area with nature trails. Animals found there include frogs, turtles and salamanders. Nature enthusiasts will find a different kind of park experience here than on the township’s paved walking paths or sports areas.

A paved multipurpose path runs around and through the Glen Oak Park grounds. It is open to everyone year-round. Orange Township also maintains around 18 miles of multipurpose paths in total. This figure describes the township’s overall offering; the path at Glen Oak Park is one specific route within that larger network.

Sledding as a seasonal option

At the southern end of the parking lot in Glen Oak Park is a large, man-made sledding hill. It is open to everyone during the winter months when weather conditions allow. Plan a visit with this activity as a weather-dependent winter option, rather than a year-round offering. This distinguishes the sledding hill from the paved multipurpose path, which is open year-round.

Play and sports facilities at North Orange Park

North Orange Park offers paved walking paths and nature trails. It also has basketball courts and a shelter with a fireplace. The playground has areas for children ages two to five and children ages five to twelve. It features ADA-accessible facilities, and many of its amenities are accessible to children with disabilities. The age ranges and accessibility information can help you decide whether these play facilities suit your needs.

Courts and fields for different sports

North Road Park in Orange Township has four pickleball courts. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The park also has soccer fields and a cricket field. This means the park offers several sports, while use of the pickleball courts is specifically determined by order of arrival. If you plan to focus on these courts, take this rule into account.

A historical connection

Gooding House and Tavern is also one of the notable places in Orange Township: the building was restored in 2007. The restoration provides a specific historical point of interest alongside the township’s nature and sports offerings. Together with the various parks, it gives you a broad range of options to shape your stay around your interests.
