I have been running at Garret Mountain for years! It's a great park and great for runners. Especially, if your looking to get in shape. This park has great dirt trails and a flat run on pavement that goes entirely around the mountain. Sure there are some roudy people there but no one bothers you. I don't know why there are complaints of trash because this place is pretty clean for the most part. It can get a little crowded on the weekends and maybe that's when you see some garbage but they keep this place pretty nice. Also, there's always police patrolling the grounds and I've recently noticed they have people on golf carts now circling the mountain for extra security which is nice. It's pretty safe but I've seen some sketchy people here and there which reminds me you can never be too safe. I usually stay on the outskirts where everyone walks but if I'm with a friend I like to go into the dirt trails. If you like wildlife this park has some beautiful birds and deer which I've seen every single time I'm there. In the fall you'll catch turkeys running around too. This place is beautiful! I recently moved which makes this park a little out of my way but I'm trying to fit this place back into my schedule because it's the only park I get a great workout. I've been to a few other parks in NJ but this is my favorite little gem. I hope this review helps. Enjoy!
