Its natural beauty and extensive sports facilities make Branch Brook Park a perfect destination for year-round recreation.
Whether you like to play or watch others play, sporting thrills await in Newark. Branch Brook Park, which hosts a magnificent Cherry Blossom Festival every April, offers a cornucopia of facilities for tennis, running, soccer, softball, skating - even cricket! On the southern end of town is Weequahic Park, which has an 18-hole golf course as well as a rubberized track that encircles the park's lake and provides magnificent views for walkers and runners alike. You can also root, root, root for the home team as the Newark Bears minor league baseball team takes the field at Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium, a 6,000-seat jewel in the heart of Newark's downtown.



Newark Bears baseball provides an entertaining mix of sports excitement and family fun.
