This park is a great place to have your cookout, picnic or event. Conveniently located to major highways and a brief walk from the Coach bus station Route 27, New Brunswick, NJ.in addition to fast food restaurants (McDonald's, Burger King, etc.).

The summer camp program run by Franklin township parks and rec out of Naaman Williams park is grossly negligent and careless… My ten year old son nearly drowned in their pool while staff was supposed to be supervising the swimmers. I rushed him to the emergency room just to make sure their was no further damage done, gratefully he is doing well now, I would not recommend anyone send their child there. This has been the worst camp experience we have had thus far.

The name of the park prior to the name change was Hamilton Park. Lt. Williams served as the first African American police officer to serve the Township of Franklin. Williams served from 1949 to 1976, he also was a member of Franklin Township Policemen's Benevolent Association Local 154. Williams was also an active civic leader who volunteered for many activities through First Baptist Church, focusing on professional and youth activities.  Naaman Williams was appointed to a full-time position in 1956, making him only the 2nd full-time officer in Franklin’s history," Williams' great granddaughter, Jonique Wadday said. "He was a lieutenant with the department when he retired. He gracefully passed away on May 30th, 1982.  A few months later, what was once Hamilton Park, was officially dedicated in his honor as Naaman Williams Memorial Park."
