We used to visit this park in late 90s when we were living in Iselin. When we visited a few weeks ago, we were delighted to see the park so much improved with facilities and upkeep. There are spots for picnics, playing, place for artists to perform and everything a good community park should have. Felt very nice to be here.

Just saw America perform this week--great concert and perfect example of how the State Theatre brings in many nostalgic bands in addition to children's events, a Broadway series with hot shows on Broadway, blues and jazz, comedians, and much more. Prices are reasonable compared to...MoreThanks William - glad you enjoyed the show!

My wife and I have been retired for a few years now. We were in somewhat good shape and loved working out years ago. Well we kept putting off getting back into shape for no real good reason. We live less than a mile from the community center and drive pass frequently. Well there was an offer to signup at a reduced rate. We decided to give it a try and was quite surprised at what was offered there. We workout several times per week and also enjoy shooting pool and just meeting new people. We have been having fun going and getting in better shape. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Tucked back in what might be thought of as Highland Park's back yard is this wonderful large park. It is easy to get to, and has loads of parking. There are baseball fields, and picnic tables. Benches are placed for nature walkers. There are exercise stations for health training. The park is bordered on the far side by the Raritan River.

I have lived in Edison my entire life and kind of took the light and museum for granted. One day my husband and I took a tour of the museum. We go to see the light often but I never was in the museum. What a wonderful experience. Kathleen was so friendly and informative!!! What made me want to see it was that we saw a young couple from Texas outside taking pictures - a husband, wife and small child. If they felt it was important enough to make it a vacation stop we should be ashamed of ourselves living in Edison and not visiting it!!!! We are so glad that we did!! What a treasure.

Was looking for a place to meet up with another family with younger kids and the gardens were just right. Wonderful variety of flowering plants, vegetables, and fruits. We were there on a Saturday afternoon as university students were working in the gardens, and they were happy to talk about what they were growing and doing.

I got invited to this place for a birthday party on a Saturday. It appeared as if there was over 10-15 parties going on that day and we were treated like an assembly line. Although it appeared clean, both my daughters got sick the next day. Probably wont be back unless I have to.

This old castle up on the hill was originally built for Seward Johnson, Sr of the Johnson and Johnson company in 1926. It now serves as offices. The outside of the building is beautiful and the courtyard at the entrance contains a sculpture of a man and his dog sitting on a bench reading the newspaper. The sculpture, by Seward Johnson, Jr, is entitled "On Top of the News". The main entrance to the castle, on River Road\, which now serves as the entrance to an assisted living faciity, is also architecturally interesting.

Visited this place with family and were greeted very warmly by the attending staff, who gave us a brilliant tour of this centre, which was very informative and improved our knowledge of several products which we had never seen anywhere!
