Restored Successfully Completed!
Teaneck Creek Park has reopened after a successful 2-year, 20-acre habitat restoration project that restored and created new wetlands in the Teaneck Creek Watershed. What was slated to become a dump 70 years ago are now some some of the newest freshwater wetlands in New Jersey!

Our History
In 2001, our founder, Perry Rosenstein, recruited an eclectic group of environmentalists, artists, and educators to rescue a small parcel of land in the southern most portion of Teaneck. Once a staging ground for the construction of the intersection of Routes 80 and 95, the land had been an unofficial dumpsite for nearly half a century. Refrigerators and old tires lay half-buried under mountains of broken concrete and asphalt.
Working with community leaders and the Bergen County Parks Department the founding team crafted a restoration plan driven by their passion to see something else for this humbled parcel of land. In 2006, after hundreds of hours of community meetings and thousands of hours of sweat equity, the Teaneck Creek Park emerged with over 1.3 miles of groomed trails, an Outdoor Classroom, and ecological art exhibits that make this oasis unlike any other.
