Willow Pond Park adds baseball diamonds, a soccer field, a playground and a fishing pond a short drive away, and Sadowski Parkway Waterfront Park by downtown features a sandy riverside beach, tennis courts and a fishing pier. Local spots in Chickentown include Blue Habanero for Mexican food and long-standing businesses like All Brands Furniture, while most residents head downtown to Smith and State streets for traditional Dominican restaurants, clothing boutiques, thrift stores and furniture shops. Grocery runs typically involve nearby Shop Rite, Walmart or ALDI.
