You can enjoy the great outdoors in Elizabeth, year-round … yes, even winter.
In the springtime, share a picnic lunch with family under cherry blossoms. When summer hits, keep your kids cool at any one of our city’s splash pads. In the fall and winter, stroll with a friend or two through a local nature preserve—and don’t forget the hot cocoa thermos.
A fan of the outdoors and history? May we suggest going on a self-guided walking tour of Elizabeth’s past dating back to 1664, including various stops at local landmarks and monuments.
If you're looking for something FREE to do outdoors, check out the City of Elizabeth's Parks & Recreation event calendar. They put on a number of events throughout the year including the annual Easter Egg Hunt, Kids to Parks Day, the Harvest Festival, and more to encourage people to get out side and enjoy the fresh air in Elizabeth. Beyond festivals and events, Elizabeth's Parks & Rec organization hosts a number of children's camps, outdoor fitness classes, and workshops so your whole family can be inspired to soak up some sun.
Whatever season you decide to visit Elizabeth, our great outdoors is almost always open for business.
