=== Rahway River Parkway β Cranford Section === {{Further|List of crossings of the Rahway River}} The [[Rahway River Parkway]] is a greenway of parkland that hugs the [[Rahway River]] and its tributaries. It was designed in the 1920s by the [[Olmsted Brothers]] firm, who were the sons of the eminent landscape architect [[Frederick Law Olmsted]]. The Cranford section follows the banks of the meandering [[Rahway River]] as it flows south through Lenape Park, Nomahegan Park, Hampton Park, MacConnell Park, Hanson Park, Sperry Park, Crane's Park, [[Droescher's Mill]] Park, and Mohawk Park.<ref>[http://www.rahwayriverparkway.org/the-inception-of-a-parkway.html The Inception of a Parkway] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161107155853/http://www.rahwayriverparkway.org/the-inception-of-a-parkway.html |date=November 7, 2016 }}, Friends of Rahway River Parkway. Accessed November 28, 2016.</ref> ==== Cranford Riverwalk ==== The Cranford Riverwalk and Heritage Corridor portion of the Rahway River Parkway begins at the parklands near where Orange Avenue meets Springfield at the [[Cranford Canoe Club]] and follows the [[Rahway River]] on its path southbound to the [[Droescher's Mill|Williams-Droescher Mill]] from the early 18th century. At Heritage Plaza at the southwest corner of South Avenue and Centennial, the century-old stone walls and iconic stone columns winding through woodland to Droescher's Mill are still in place, but are in need of restoration and preservation.<ref>Lissner, Caren.
