Standort
Yantacaw Brook park is located in a residential area of Montclair, New Jersey and in the neighborhood of Upper Montclair. The park is in the northeastern part of the town. The park is located one block away from the Archery Field at Brookdale Park, borders the Northeast Elementary School, and a fifteen minute walk from the Upper Montclair business district.
Übersicht
The southern part of the park is centered around the small pond. Around the pond is a small cement path that goes around the edges of the pond and then splits off to the different entrances, which are usually the end of a small dead end street. The north side is where the Yantacaw Brook empties into the lake and on the opposite side is where the small dam is which lets some water continue flowing along the Yantacaw Brook. The north of the park is a forest with the Yantacaw Brook running through it. it is long and narrow, following the brook. Small bridges and an asphalt footpath are the only things here but wildlife.
