Weequahic Park is a park located in the south ward of Newark, New Jersey. Designed by the Olmsted Brothers firm, Weequahic Park has the largest lake in Essex County. The park opened on what had been the Waverly Fairgrounds. West of Weequahic Park is Weequahic, a middle-class residential neighborhood. East of Weequahic Park is the Newark Liberty International Airport.

The word "Weequahic" in the name of the park is from the Lenni-Lenape Native American term for "head of the cove"[1].
