May 19, 2025, Birdwatching Station in Richard A. Rutkowski Park

You can't ride a bike there, but still well worth visiting. There are a few bird watching stations, I've seen a couple of herons and a turtle!

Lincoln Park is one of the county's oldest and largest parks. It is a popular spot with plenty of outdoor activities, including tennis and basketball courts, a softball field, a running track, and bike paths. The park includes Edgewood Lake for fishing and a nature trail, part of the Historic Liberty/Water Gap Trail. A wetland restoration project is underway to enhance wildlife observation, making it a great place to spot rare birds like Black Skimmers, Ospreys, and Egrets. There is also a great dog run, so feel free to bring your pup along to enjoy this fantastic urban community park.

Little detour here off of JFK Blvd for a quick 1.5 mi loop and nice views of the river.
