City Map with Features
Situated on top of Watchung Mountain in Green Brook Township, the park is best known for its scenic vista and historical significance. The park is a popular site for picnicking and relaxing. The strategic location of Washington Rock made it a valuable lookout point for General George Washington during the War for Independence. In June 1777, a British army under General William Howe advanced on the town of Westfield. From the vantage point of this natural rock outcropping, Washington had a thirty-mile panoramic view of the valley and was able to instruct his troops to circle behind Howes troops and cut off their retreat. Take Route 22 to Greenbrook Township to Washington Rock Road.
