One of the nifty unsung public parks in the Meadowlands is Snipes Park in Secaucus, a riverfront park that offers great views of the Hackensack and any birds that might be on or above the river.
The park is located on the Meadowlands Parkway behind WWOR. You'll see signs just to the left of WWOR's gated parking lot.
On a recent trip, we got some great looks at Buffleheads floating down the Hackensack. There are barbecue grills, picnic tables, benches and an ADA-compatible playground.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, this is a nice place to chill.

Been in Secaucus for 20 years (from CT), and didn’t even know this existed! Never would’ve thought to walk behind WWOR…
Snipe’s Bar: My grandfather Ludwig Steiner lived on the Hackensack River in East Rutherford, (along Cedar Creek) and used to take me to Snipe’s Pub/Bar across the river (via rowboat) in the late 1950s, early 1960s. Does anyone have a photo of this place, or any information about it. I will be writing the history of Steiner’s Landing and would like to include mention of Snipe’s.
Thanks.
