▶ "<i>This lovely park and its walking trails are nestled along the South River. However, this site was not always a picturesque spot. It was once an auto salvage yard and the grounds were piled with abandoned cars and tires. The lot was purchased for the new trailhead and connection for the <a href="https://www.pathfoundation.org/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">PATH</a> trail.</i>"
