Maywood Visiting & Lodging
Maywood works best as a local Bergen County destination rather than a packaged tourist stop. Its appeal comes from the places residents actually use—parks, historic sites, food, recreation, community events and convenient access to nearby regional attractions.
Things to see & do
A compact restaurant corridor with Italian, Filipino, Greek, breakfast, café and tavern options.

Maywood works well as a quieter base close to Hackensack's medical, government and downtown destinations.
Community & seasonal highlights
Youth sports, adult activities and seasonal trips run through the borough Recreation Department.
The municipal pool and Maywood Dolphins add summer recreation.
Maywood Station Museum and local historical groups provide heritage-oriented events.
