About Kings Pond Park
Kings Pond Park covers more than 27 acres in Ridgewood. Its centerpiece is a sizable pond bordered by trees and bushes on one side and Lakeview Avenue on the other, and a walking path follows Goffle Brook beside it. The pond connects to Gypsy Pond through the brook and a dam.
The village lists seating, an open play area, a bike rack and parking, and calls the park ADA accessible. It is also one of the village's wildscapes, a park left natural with the help of the Ridgewood Wildscape Association. The village also lists ice skating when permitted.
Dogs are permitted on a leash no longer than 6 feet, and the village asks you to clean up after them.

A Brief History
In the middle of the 20th century a developer planned 37 homes on the site, and the pond was drained and reshaped. In December 1965 the village bought back 15 acres around Gypsy Pond, regraded and seeded the land, and restored the stream that flows through it.
Trail & Path Info
A walking path follows the brook and the pond through the park. The village gives no length. A second way in is at the end of McKinley Place off Mountain Avenue: go left at the bottom of the stairs and trail.
Hours / Season of Operation
Village parks are open from sunrise to sunset, all year. Check the Village of Ridgewood's website for current details. The village lists ice skating on the pond only when it is permitted; no dates are posted.
