Edison State Park

This is like a little hidden gem in the area. The light tower is relatively spectacular considering there's really nothing else like it just posted in the middle of other suburban towns. The trail behind the tower, though small, is just as good as any other trails. It leads to a small pond as well which is full of wildlife. A lot of birds, turtles, frogs and fish hang out there. It is close to the local roads, so you don't get the full effect of being immersed in nature, but if you want a small & quick getaway to be surrounded by trees you can go here and get that type of experience and it doesn't have to be a major time investment. I love this spot.

Love parks. Specially quiet ones.nThe best is to be in contact with our nearby nature areas like parks. Fresh air. Relaxing to relief the stress of modern life.

Very nice park especially if you live nearby it's huge

Almost everyone around this quiet monument to Thomas Edison with a tower with a light bulb on top and off the side of the road assumes the museum in the tower's base is most if not all of the park. There is a bit more.nnIt is a short distance away from New Dover Road and Metropark. Other parks around Thomas Edison Memorial Park are mostly picnic, playground and sports type things. This is like a mini version of other, larger areas like places in nearby Clark. Like the recently closed golf course converted into park land or Echo Lake. Little easy trail to walk around, places to sit and some interesting nature sometimes that gives you an idea of what this area was like pre- suburbs. Not much parking in the one small lot, though.

Interesting little park with lots of history and nature trail which I did not get to do on my first visit. Museum on site was closed when I arrived but enjoyed just taking pictures and reading the information. They have benches around the monument and picnic tables st the start of the trail. Great little spot for lunch or for sunset to see it light up (which I did not stay for this time around).
