Eagle Rock Reservation is a 408.33 acre (1.7 km²) forest reserve and recreational park located primarily in the Essex County, New Jersey communities of West Orange, Montclair, and Verona. The land is owned and administered by the Essex County Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs.On October 20, 2002, Essex County Executive James W. Treffinger, along with many local residents and dignitaries, dedicated a section of the reservation — which overlooks the Manhattan skyline — to a memorial built in honor of those killed during the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks. The names of all who perished at the World Trade Center or on the two planes that crashed into the twin towers are permanently inscribed in a marble memorial.
