Visiting & Lodging
Lincoln Park works best as a relaxed local recreation destination: swim or paddle at the Community Lake, play public golf, watch small aircraft at Lincoln Park Airport, visit neighborhood parks and explore the borough's railroad, canal and community history.
There is no major hotel district inside the borough. Most overnight visitors stay a short drive away in Wayne, Fairfield or Parsippany and use Lincoln Park as a convenient base for family visits, recreation, golf and events.
