Add security Guards in and around that area too...That would be most nice for the people of Newark, NJ to help them feel a little safer when approaching Weequahic Park.

Alexander Stadnytskyy | Sep 30, 2019

Yes there are special area for make a campfire or place grille. And if u dont wanna listen to guards lesson about safety rules just stay 25 feet from the tree , dont make fire to big for campfire u need to put some dirt sand aroud the fireplace stones be good also , its always good to have some water in case the fire gets out of control. That the common safety guide how to dont burn up the whole park. And be humans dont act like animal even when u in forest, please take your garbage with u and place it in the right place. And remember there always the plastic cabin call toilet, u know what to do.

How deep is the lake?

richard masterson | Sep 29, 2021
Derrick Headen | Sep 29, 2021

A lot deeper than that. In the past they have dragged whole cars and trucks out of it. I wouldn't advise swimming in it to test it out. Just enjoy walking around it and getting your cardial on Very safe in the daytime.

What are you kidding me just in tbe last couple of months the found 3 dead bodies, 2 of them floating in that beautiful fountain you see in the picture. Little creepy for me.

David Dehope | Sep 30, 2019
Walter Agudelo | Sep 30, 2019

The park is also very dirty. The city of Newark should add more trash cans or obligate the people that go there to party,to pick after themselves or pay a hefty fine. There is always lots of police in the area.

Was weequahic park built over a Indian burrial ground

Cheryl Green | Sep 30, 2019
Scott Mathison | Sep 30, 2019

While that would be a great urban myth, no. As per Wikipedia; "Theย parkย opened on what had been the Waverly Fairgrounds. The word "Weequahic" is from the Lenni-Lenape Native American term for "head of the cove." Tradition holds that the lake in theย parkย (once a cove) stood as the boundary between the Raritan and Hackensack bands of Lenape Indians." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weequahic_Park
