    Beautiful Park in Monroe. Serene. The park is big, good for a run or jog. Lots of trees, makes your visit/walk very enjoyable. You can come there for fishing, playing volleyball, basketball, picnics with you family; there’s ample of space and greenery. Sitting by the lake is also an option of you enjoy that. Must visit if you’re around!

    Love coming here. It is peaceful, calm, such great way to be in nature. There is a little zoo, lake, playground, fields, courts and picnic areas. You can reserve picnic areas for your events like birthday parties, baby showers or any other small gatherings. You can get food trucks with permissions.

    It was a great morning. Got to the park at 9:30 and walked up to the top of the hill. We had our backpack with water bottles, binoculars, bug spray, and dog treats. (We brought Mitzy). We also brought our beach chairs and was pleased to have some shade up there. We sat an hour and a half enjoying the view and wonderful breeze. We stopped at the car to put the backpack and chairs in and went over to check out the animals. Mitzy seemed intrigued by the goats, deer and Peacocks. About 45 minutes later we headed home. A nice peaceful sunny morning at the park. It couldn't have been more perfect.

    This park is a treasure, it is large enough, so you can walk and not feel closed in like some smaller town parks. Great place to relax. There is a zoo, lake, winding paths, handball walls, there is a fire tower, frisbee golf, there is a hill for sledding, and basketball courts. In. the summer they have car shows here. This park is a rare treasure.

    This is a wonderful park in which to go on a run, with excellent roads and paths, good hills and great scenery. They even have a small zoo tucked away near the lake that's great for families with children. There are also several lovely picnic areas. It's a must-do visit on every trip to Monroe Township.

    When the weather is great, so is this park! Kids had fun at the playground, the animal park is a cute distraction. Parking was easy to find and free. Plenty of tables available for a picnic. The lake view is soothing and very enjoyable. There are activities to do like tennis and basketball, so come prepared.

    Big park with lots of sports terrains for tennis, beach volleyball, basketball. Kids playgrounds are with soft rubber matting and different slides and climbing walls. Manalapan lake makes this park perfect peaceful place with a beautiful view. There are more than enough parking lots in the park itself.

    I’ve been to this park numerous times. Used to feed the animals with my wife (girlfriend at the time) and just recently had a picnic with my family for Labor Day. The park is nice, spacious, and has trees that provide a good amount of shade. The playgrounds are also nice and well kept. I recommend if you’re looking for a place to have a party, picnic, barbecue, or just get out and enjoy a nice day, taking a walk on the trail

    I absolutely love this place, my dad would take me here when I was little to visit the animals. It was very upsetting to hear that they’re removing the animals but it won’t replace how great this park is! There are plenty of nice views near the lake, there are plenty of different sports you can play here, and it’s big enough to take a nice walk around and enjoy the scenery!

    There is a small zoo and more than 5 play areas in the park for children. They can have lots of fun. And for elders there is volleyball, basketball ball, pickle ball, fishing and tennis court. There are grills for barbecue near the pond. There are tracks for running or walking. Overall this is an excellent park for all age groups to have fun and party.

    Great place for a family outing. Kids will enjoy a small Zoo. Grill, play area, tennis court and a small pond are other attractions. A must visit with your family.

    Lot of trails to run or walk. Make sure you have a map or you may get lost in trails :) Well maintained, large dog park, with a lot of parking. Make sure to bring your own water. There’s a spring that has natural water that the park recommends can be consumed after boiling for 2 minutes.
