DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst is a great place to get away without leaving home.
Admission is free, and the sights this time of year are specatcular.
The park, at the end of Valley Brook Aveune, is open from dawn to dusk daily. The Visitor Center and Observatory will be closed on Monday.

I would just mention that people not be turned off by the guardhouse. I come down for lunch a lot and that’s all they want to know but the first time it was a bit intimidating. Especially since when I used to work in the area a bunch of years ago and used the park, there was no guard.
Thanks, John. Yes, Do not be intimidated by the guardhouse…! Everyone is very nice.
