Alvin P. Williams Memorial Park

A very nice chunk of nothingness. When planned in 1965, it was to include a social activities center, restaurant, administration office, swimming pools. 265 berths for small craft up to 21' and 50 berths for boats up to 50', and dry storage space for 60 boats was to be provided.

What happened? Where did all the money go?

Great park. Plenty of space for kids to run around in the playground or with they scooters, bikes etc. I have done birthday party for my kids at this park and even on a cloudy drizzly day it has not been ruined as we put up tents and there's no muddy ground since the picnic area is mostly made up of tiny gravel. The bathrooms are always kept clean which is a plus. And in the summer they have this little sprinkler feature.

Ideal location for Fourth of July fireworks

Before former Woodbridge Mayor Jim McGreevey renamed the park for Officer Williams, who drowned in 1979 in the course of duty during an epic flood attempting to save lives by the Rahway River, it WAS Sewaren Marina Park. Names often get changed in honor of heroes such as Alvin Williams.

Actually called Alvin P. Williams Memorial Park, this is the greatest park to walk in. So much open space, very few people, doesn't feel cramped at all. Track is 0.8 miles around. Push for 5 times around to get 4 miles in and you're good for the day!
