At the heart of town, the picturesque Village Green Park hosts events year-round, from live summer concerts to bustling farmers markets. Families appreciate the outstanding school system anchored by Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School, which consistently earns high marks for academics and extracurriculars.
Outdoor enthusiasts relish the acres of rolling lawns at Shady Rest Country Club, known for its important role in African American golf history. The expansive Watchung Reservation, just beyond the town’s borders, offers hundreds of acres of woodlands, lakes, and bridle paths for hiking, picnicking, or simply enjoying nature. Strolling along bustling Park Avenue reveals unique eateries and inviting shops, including the much-loved Stage House Tavern.
