Parks and Recreation

Boonton, a Manhattan skyline vista, home to one of Morris County’s best kept secrets.

Although Boonton is a town built on industry, it is not without natural beauty. Grace Lord Park, with its fountain, falls and landmark gazebo, is home to the town’s concerts during the summer season. The Rockaway River meanders through the park and our town offering walking trails and a variety of flora and fauna for the nature enthusiast. Boonton is home to one of Morris County’s best kept secrets.

The Boonton Falls. Rivaled only by the Great Falls of Paterson, the power of the falls helped establish the town as a iron town in the 1800's. Now, it offers hiking trails and a chance to see the town as it looked a century ago.

 

 

 

In Neighboring towns, one can enjoy hiking and picnicking in two of Morris County's premier parks: The Tourne Park and Pyramid Mountain.

The Town of Boonton and surrounding countryside is a cyclists dream.

In addition to the natural beauty to enjoy, Boonton has a full service recreation department offering programs for all ages.

 

 

Get inspired. Get ready to dream again.
