West Orange, New Jersey
http://www.westorange.org/
West Orange is part of the metropolitan area that surrounds Newark and New York, lying west of both cities in the center of Essex County, New Jersey. Its 12.15 square miles spread over two ridges and two valleys of the Watchung Mountains; the rolling terrain gives variety to the township and is responsible for its division into several neighborhoods.
About one-fifth of the land is open space, consisting of municipal and county parks and playgrounds, private and public golf courses and undeveloped acreage. Portions of Essex County's South Mountain and Eagle Rock Reservations contain public areas, hiking trails, ball fields and bridle paths in the woods. Turtle Back Zoo and South Mountain Skating Arena are in South Mountain Reservation. Eagle Rock Reservation includes a lookout from which one can see the skyscrapers of New York, the Statue of Liberty, and the George Washington and Verazzano bridges. On a clear night, the view is spectacular.
Railroad service is provided by New Jersey Transit with stations nearby in Orange, South Orange and Montclair. Bus service to Newark and New York is available. The Township operates mini-buses for senior citizens.
