A little closer to home is Lincoln Park, which is maybe a 1/2 mile walk from the West Side light rail. The bulk of the park is typical park — ballfields, playgrounds, open spaces. But the west side of the park (across 440; there are two bridges that go over) is a nature preserve with trails you can walk to the Hackensack River. My wife leads birdwatching tours there sometimes, it's a very nice spot. Although you get the incongruity of peaceful marshland and the giant factory across the river...

You can combine this with the Holy Name Cemetery which is nice esp during the warm weather.

Stephen R. Gregg Park in Bayonne is worth going to as well, though isn't so easy to get to. It also has a wetlands section on the North End, there is a parking lot by the i78 bridge crosses the river.

I second Stephen Gregg park! Lived near there during Covid and it was a great place to explore
