DiVincenzo, Jr. Essex County Executive and the Board of Commissioners Daniel K. Salvante Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs PUTTING ESSEX COUNTY FIRST COMPLIMENTARY ISSUE COMPLIMENTARY ISSUE Dear Friend, The winter months are fast approaching, and we all wish the Essex County calendar was filled with tons of family-friendly activities for everyone to enjoy this holiday season, as it has been in years past. But this year is different. Covid-19 has changed our world and health and safety is now our number one priority. Although we can’t gather in large groups and partake in our traditional holiday and seasonal activities, it is important that we still embrace the joyous times and think positive thoughts as best we can. While we must remain apart from each other physically, let us continue to find creative ways to connect and celebrate the spirit of the holidays. Whether it’s a walk in an Essex County park to enjoy the foliage and fresh air or a cup of tea or hot chocolate on a virtual platform with friends and family, there are many ways we can connect and center our minds on positivity. We encourage you all to safely create memories with those closest to you. It may look different this year, but the connection with our friends and family is needed even more during these times. Together we will continue Putting Essex County First. Happy Holidays! Joseph N.

  • West Essex Trail to Eagle Rock Reservation
    Official Guide to the Lenape Trail available at www.LenapeTrail.org Map 4 West Essex Trail to Eagle Rock Reservation From Bowden Road, the Lenape Trail continues along the route of the West Essex Trail before turning right onto a footpath into Cedar Grove Park. After crossing Fairview Avenue, it follows paved paths and turn turns onto footpaths into Hilltop Reservation, where the yellow blazes should be followed carefully to avoid turning onto other trails. The Lenape Trail continues along a mix of footpaths and old woods roads to reach the Verona Community Center, where it continues along road sidewalk to reach Verona Park. It follows sidewalk within Verona Park, and then road sidewalks and roadwalks are followed to reach the northern end of Eagle Rock Reservation. Points of Interest: West Essex Trail: The West Essex Trail is situated on the former Caldwell Branch of the old Erie- Lackawanna Railroad. Acquired in 1985 through Green Acre funding, the 2.84-mile trail runs from Arnold Way in Verona northeast to the Passaic County line. Robert O'Toole Community Center: The Robert J. O’Toole Community Center, within the 77-acre Essex County Cedar Grove Park, was named for Robert O’Toole, the township’s retired three-term mayor. The park was developed on the site of the 121-year-old Essex County Hospital Center, also known as the Overbrook Asylum. Adjacent to the community center are four bocce courts and a playground designed with a farming theme in recognition of the site’s history that included a farm to support the hospital.
