Darlington County Park, with its 178 acres, contains three lakes on its pleasant and convenient location at the foothills of the Ramapo Mountains. Two of these lakes permit swimming, while the third allows fishing. Swimming is available from Memorial Day through Labor Day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weather and conditions permitting. Please check with the park (201) 327-3500 for the early June schedule. Fishing, with proper valid NJ license, is available all year, catch and release rules in effect (ice fishing is not permitted at any time). The park also includes white sand beaches, wooded picnic area (bring your own grill), open lawns, new children's state-of-the-art playground, tennis and handball courts, and a bird and wildlife observation. 

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy walking the paved roadways. During swimming season there is an entrance fee; however, Bergen County residents receive a discount with a Bergen County Parks card.
