Sorry this is so late, but a busy work schedule plus company over most of
last week kept me away from the computer. Anyhow, yes, that was where the Mud
Hole was. Actually, to be totally accurate, the Mud Hole was in Memorial
Park, but all the parks in Nutley were in a continuous strip along Third
River. The northernmost of the parks was Kingsland Park (near Yantacaw
School), which ran into Memorial Park near Vreeland Avenue, which in turn was
continuous with Yantacaw Park, near where Park Avenue ended up, and then
Booth Park, south of Center Street. But the whole thing was just one unbroken
strip of greenery with walkways and the ever-present Third River, known to
most of us as "the brook."
