A very secluded park. Includes several baseball/softball diamonds with lights for night games and a children’s playground set. During the day the majority of people who visit this park are local families and sports teams, but during the night hours this park is frequently populated with high school students.
In 1887 Edison moved his laboratory from Menlo Park to West Orange. He worked there until his death in 1931. In West Orange he improved his phonograph and storage battery and did all of his work on motion pictures. His lab and home are now preserved by the National Park Service as Thomas Edison National Historical Park, which is 7 miles from downtown Newark, and accessible by public transport.
