Hikes at Lake Renwich Preserve and Gregory B Bott Park's sports fields
While several pocket parks are spread throughout East Plainfield, the largest outdoor attraction is Lake Renwick Preserve. The 839-acre preserve protects a 200-acre wide lake, with associated wetlands, and has several trails for hiking and biking in the summer, as well as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. The preserve is home to nesting herons, egrets and cormorants. When nesting season ends, you can spot bald eagles, American white pelicans and hundreds of winter waterfowl. The preserve is also home to various plant species, including large-leaved pondweed and water stargrass. Due to the sensitivity of the site’s natural resources, dogs are not allowed in the preserve. Just southwest of Plainfield Central High School is Gregory B Bott Park, which has 58 acres of sports fields, concessions, restrooms, trails and a skate park.
