Eagle Rock Park 9/11 Memorial Plaza

Eagle Rock Ave &, Prospect Ave, West Orange, NJ 07052, USA

Long a favorite view and overlook for local residents, after 9/11, Essex County created a monument honoring the many Essex County residents who died that day. It’s easy to forget in the leafy streets and early 20th century side streets of Montclair that NYC is only 12 miles away. Besides the stellar view, there are miles of hiking trails through Eagle Rock Reservation and the nearby Highlawn Pavilion for a drink or nosh.
