Sometimes the best place for a party isn't actually your backyard—it’s one of the beautiful public spaces right here in our community. If you are looking to host a graduation, family reunion, or a "Knockerball" tournament in Pompton Lakes, choosing the right location is key.

Here are our top picks for local outdoor event spaces:

  • Hershfield Park: Located right along the Wanaque River, this is the "crown jewel" for active parties. With its expansive open fields, it is the premier spot in town for high-energy rentals like Bubble Soccer (Knockerball) or Inflatable Axe Throwing. There is ample parking and enough room to set up a 10x20 tent for a central "home base."

  • Rotary Park: If you are looking for a more scenic, "chill" vibe, the newly redone Rotary Park along the shoreline of Pompton Lake is perfect. It’s ideal for smaller gatherings where you might just need a few tables and chairs for a sunset picnic or a small birthday celebration near the water.

  • Pompton Aquatic Park: For those who love a wooded, nature-heavy backdrop, this park offers great hiking trails and fishing spots. It’s a fantastic location for "basecamp" style events where you need a simple tent and seating setup for guests to relax between activities.

Pro-Tip for Park Rentals: Always check with the Borough of Pompton Lakes regarding permits for tents or organized games. Once you have your spot, contact Xunbo Rentals to handle the delivery and setup of your event essentials!
