Do you need to be a KJ resident to Enter Ruach Hachaim Park?

You dont.

No

No
Was it always like that ? I read some old articles that seemed to imply that it was only for residents.

Are there separate hours for Men and ladies?

No, but rumored to have separate sections.
That's correct.

Been there with my kids, its a great park, it does have separate sections (at least officially).

Separate sections but not enforced. Anybody can go to the park, I live in Brooklyn and have been there many times with my kids. It's a great park for Nyc standards

Google it

Like new square

I got there at 11, the gate on the road was closed.
Came back at 12, the gate was open.
All i can say is any 1 who passes monroe, or goes to wood bury commons, MUST go to this park.(its tremendous)
2 zip lines, and excellent ropes even for older children.
There are 2 colors of everything, Blue then red an pink.
The guard came, but didn't say boo to us.
No 1 was there at 1st, but even when some men came they didn't say anything to my wife(on the blue side)

They made blue for Boys
Pink/Red for Girls.
They can't enforce it though since it was built with govt funding. But I heard that most ppl comply...

You don't need to be a resident. You need to look Jewish. If you're not Jewish, living in the town of Monroe they won't let you in.

Well, talking about the shopping center, I once had to meet someone in one of the offices in top of the shopping center, I live in BP and before leaving I wanted to know which address to put into wayz, so i called up that guys office and the KJ girl picks up the phone and I ask her what's the address of the office? And she is like we are on top of the shopping center, I was like ummm not everyone from the whole world knows where the KJ shopping center is" she was totally lost and shocked... Took a while for her to chap that not everything ends by the KJ shopping center, was funny...
Stbaum, you chap what I mean right.. I bet that you would handle the phone call exactly the same so don't say that no one could see you are from KJ ;)

“Many people have complained about Kiryas Joel voters having too much of a say in the Town of Monroe," Kiryas Joel Administrator Gedalye Szegedin said in the press release. "We agree with the many people who have suggested over the years that creating two separate towns is the most practical way to alleviate that concern. We firmly believe that this is an important step in the healing process for these two communities.”

DW had to be in KJ for a day last week, so I was there for a couple of hours.
When I needed to daven Mincha, I went into a Beis Medrash where I had just parked. I was amazed by the fact that I had to search high and low for a צדקה פושקע where I could give some צדקה before mincha. I don't recall ever Davening in a place where there was no פושקע either on the wall near the entrance, or on the bima (and in many places someone goes around with that one during חזרת הש״ץ. After walking out, I realized that there were also no beggars, משולחים, or anyone asking for צדקה. The situation struck me as so unusual, that I decided to inquire. Going out of shul I asked two young men about this. Their response was that there might be a lot of קלעבעדיקע הענט. To which I responded חס ושלום, can't think of yidden like that.
The next day I called up a friend who lives in KJ, and usually calls me for help finding parking in Crown Heights during simchas Beis Hashoaiva to inquire. When I described to him the location, his response was דארטן גיי איך ניט אריין, so he doesn't know anything about it. Does this all boil down to politics/fights? Is it that bad that a shul can't have pushkas for people to easily give tzedoko before Davening?
Otherwise, I must say that the place is amazing. Might even consider moving there if I would have the type of chinuch I would want for my kids 😀.
I wish some KJ locals would post on the Pros and cons of where you live.

Dairy:

-Yossi's Pizza
-Breuer's Pizza
-Monroe Bakery
-Munch and Brunch
Sushi:

Fleishig:
-Both Satmar butchers have deli sections

Thanks for your help. As I was coming with my family, I wanted to know if you can sit down in the satmar butchers to eat or do they only have takeout?
Are any of the dairy places mentioned - like a bagel place? Do they all have room to sit down with a family?
Are any of the dairy places you mentioned more upscale then the others?
I heard about the Valero gas station, what food does that have?
Thanks again.

No sit-down Fleishig places that I'm aware of. There might be seating at the Sandwich Spot (a relatively new place that I've never been to).
If by bagel place you mean where you can have breakfast, all of the dairy options should work.
No real upscale ones and you could sit down at all of the dairy options on the list aside from maybe Munch and Brunch, and Monroe Bakery.
Valero is now Exxon. They have sandwiches, pizza, etc. And great sushi. No seating.

Mostly stayed on grounds and took advantage of the pool. Went once to Ruach Hachaim, but it was a broiling day and there are no trees in the park, so it was unbearably hot.

There is access to a road from a gate in the back, and there is a small shul right around the corner. Good luck finding a Shachis minyan on Shabbos before 10:30, though. (Tidbid, Yoely Falkowitz davens in that shul.)

IMHO Yossi's Pizza has very good soft serve ice cream.
I will add, that if you get pizza over there, the story of כלים רקים אל תמעיטי comes to mind. You might get enough oil off a pie to last an entire Chanuka. However, after you take care of the oil situation, I think the Pizza is very good. I've also enjoyed putting together a plate of a main dish with two side dishes. Very decent choices.
