Roosevelt Park is the oldest park in the Middlesex County Park System, dating back to 1917. Set in the midst of a highly developed area, Roosevelt Park is our answer to New York City’s Central Park. Here park visitors can enjoy 196 acres of majestic trees complimented by a picturesque eight acre lake just perfect for fishing. Roosevelt Park offers a multitude of special facilities to make it a perfect destination for day trippers.
The eight-acre Roosevelt Park Lake has always been the natural focal point of the park. The lake is stocked for fishing by the State of New Jersey and on any warm day you will find lots of anxious anglers trying their luck. If fishing isn't for you, you can also enjoy the lake's beauty by walking, jogging, or riding your bike around the paved pathway around the lake.
