'''Yantacaw Brook Park''' is a town operated park located in [[Montclair, New Jersey|Montclair]], [[New Jersey]], [[United States]]. The park takes up {{convert|11.5|acre|m2}} of land.<ref>http://www.gotomontclairnj.com/parks.htm</ref> It has a small pond and the stream that feeds it and is surrounded by trees and small sloped hills with benches, with paths going through. The stream that empties into the pond and then continues at the other end of the pond is called the Yantacaw Brook. The Brook then continues into [[Third River (New Jersey)|Third River]] in [[Bloomfield, New Jersey]] and then into [[Belleville, New Jersey]] and [[Nutley, New Jersey]], where it enters the [[Passaic River]]. Yantacaw Brook Park should not be confused with Nutley's larger Yanticaw River Park through which the same water body flows. Both the Yantacaw brook and the Third River were referred to by the lenni-Lenape people as ''Yantokah'' or ''Yantacaw''. |

The north side is where the Yantacaw Brook empties into the pond and on the opposite side is where the small dam is which lets some water continue flowing along the Yantacaw Brook. |
|||
The north of the park is a forest with the Yantacaw Brook running through it. it is long and narrow, following the brook. Small bridges and an asphalt footpath are the only things there. |
