About Banchoff Park
Banchoff Park is a 99 acre township park on Mountain View Road, in the western part of Ewing. It was named for Ann Banchoff, a kindergarten teacher and Township Committee member, and it is on the site of the old Reeder Farm, where George Washington stopped for breakfast on his way to Trenton.
The park has multi-use trails for walking, hiking and biking, a pond, a playground for ages 2 to 5 and 5 to 12, a picnic grove and open green space. Tennis courts also serve for pickleball. The John and Anna Karas Dog Park is an enclosed area in the park, with separate areas for large and small dogs and for puppies.

Things to See & Do
Walk or bike the trails, fish the pond, picnic in the grove and take the kids to the playground. The playground has swings for both age groups.
The dog park has water fountains for people and pets that run all year, with separate small-dog, large-dog and puppy areas. Children under 12 and puppies under 4 months are not allowed in it, and dogs must be leashed outside the fenced area. In winter, locals sled on the park's open hill when snow falls.
Best Time of Year to Visit
Spring through fall for the trails and pond; right after a snowfall for sledding.
Tips and Tricks
Ewing does not supervise the dog park; owners are responsible for their dogs, and each person may bring up to three dogs per visit. Dogs must be licensed and vaccinated. Pick up all trash, including pet waste, and respect the neighbors; no alcohol is permitted in the park.
Hours / Season of Operation
Open all year; the park is closed from dusk to dawn, and the dog park is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Check Ewing Township's website for current hours.
