The different environments available due to of the park’s location within two distinct ecosystems means that there is always something new to explore and discover here.
“Very few visitors in Winter to this peaceful space straddling Raritan Bay. The woods and ponds as well as look out areas offer beauty and tranquility in the middle of a crazy busy area. A great time out. Trails and swimming in warm weather.” – Robert, Trip Advisor reviewer
