About this Location

Facility Overview

Knights Field, located in New Milford, NJ, is a community-focused athletic facility situated adjacent to the local high school. As a neighborhood recreational hub, the parking area is primarily an open-air surface lot designed for convenient access to sports fields and school grounds. The facility features a standard layout typical of suburban recreational complexes, providing adequate space for passenger vehicles, SUVs, and standard pickup trucks. As an outdoor facility, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it accessible for most non-commercial passenger vehicles. Please note that parking is integrated into the school and recreational district infrastructure, meaning it is not a structured garage, but rather a surface-level amenity.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Knights Field is centrally located within the New Milford community, serving as a primary site for local youth sports, including soccer, baseball, and softball leagues. Its proximity to the local high school makes it a vital resource for parents and event attendees during the academic year and athletic seasons. Nearby, the Kennedy Field complex—a larger, multi-purpose sports center behind the Borough Hall—is also easily accessible, hosting a wide array of recreational activities including basketball, tennis, and volleyball, ensuring that this area is a bustling hub for family-oriented events and competitive sports.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Access to the area is facilitated by local streets connected to major Bergen County transit arteries. Drivers arriving via Route 4 or the Garden State Parkway should follow signage toward Oradell or New Milford. Primary road access generally involves navigating toward River Road or Madison Avenue, depending on the specific segment of the athletic complex you are visiting.
