Cedar Brook Park combines a historic designed landscape with recreation spaces in Plainfield.
Paths connect different areas, while the Shakespeare Garden adds a more intimate horticultural destination within the larger county park.
Use current Union County information for trail access, facility reservations and organized activities. Garden character changes through the seasons, and sports areas follow separate schedules. The photograph shows the Shakespeare Garden during an earlier period rather than the entire park or a promise of particular flowers in bloom. Follow authorized paths around planted beds.
