    This is a green park with walking/biking trails close by, and an active community of park users, some with dogs. There are multiple fields for recreation, including baseball, and a track too. If head into the trails, keep an eye out for the teddy bears in the trees! I counted two (are there more?). Ample parking.

    Outstanding park with fine maintenance staff and even park security presence. Our 6.5 year old loves state of the art playground. We, the adults love the exercise stations along the walking/ running path of about one mile. Ad the great nature trails where you can walk in the shade if your a Transylvanian (you know what:)) which I am. Enough about me. It's fabulous that everything works here and well maintained. There is a drink fountain just off the walking path. There is a public bathroom and even a few well placed Porta-potties. Be a caring user of this great park! Hope to get a hello wave or shout,😄, from some who read this if you find me when I may start wearing either small name tag or a shirt telling that I'm "The Transylvanian." Let's all be friends of the park and each other. 🖖

    This park is so beautiful and clean! It is literally one of my favorite parks in Old Bridge and nearby areas. Trails are great and well-maintained. Great place for walking or riding a bike. A lot of space for any activities. Nice exercise stations and playground.

    Beautiful county park. Has a large field for feild sports and activities, as well as, trails for walking and hiking through the woods. There's also a stream that winds through the wood and along the trail at points, with a small bridge to cross at one spot. Very peaceful!

    Beautiful public park in Old Bridge. Wide paved, multiuse path that goes around the perimeter of the park. There is access to walking/hiking trails through the woods as well, which are well marked. There is also a playground for children and few ball fields. Public restrooms on sight are sometimes locked. Great place to walk your dog.

    Hidden gem in Old Bridge. Nice playground. Long paved paths - great for bikes and walking. Ample parking but what we like the most are the hiking trails. A few miles through the woods with little streams and bridges. Lots of interesting sights.

    Excellent place for walk/jog. Very very clean park, I think the cleanest in 100 miles radius. The track is concrete so wear shoes accordingly if you are running to save your knees.

    Trail entrance is tucked away in the far side of the soccer fields and slightly to the left when you park in the parking lots. You’ll see a wooden frame with a sign and sand. Trails themselves are ok, flat and windy sometimes, but clearly marked and I recommend taking a picture of a map. In August when we went, there were lots of bugs so make sure to use bug spray. Also be careful about swatting insects, there are stinging ones. Cool mushrooms to see. Plenty of parking. Has restrooms in a separate building, near the playground.

    Trails are really well maintained and well marked. Take tick precautions if hiking there, on two separate occasions (June 2022) I found 6+ ticks on myself.

    This is a hidden jewel in old bridge. It has nice trails for all levels, kids play area, soccer fields, tracks for jogging... good time to spend a day. Kids really love this park.

  • 5/5 Gene H. 1 year ago on Google
    I have just spent two days driving around this park, it is beautiful. My real reason for posting this is because someone with no heart dumped a beautiful large brindle dog off. The dog roamed for a week until some wonderful people set up food stations and brought trappers in to help the dog which now is known as houdini.. whoever you are that dumped this beautiful girl you should be ashamed of yourself!! To everyone..... please if you cannot take care of your pet please take them to the local animal shelter.

  • 5/5 Laura B. 6 months ago on Google
    Really nice park with paved trails around the playing fields and an area if wooded unpaved trails as well. Two playgrounds in the same area, one for big kids and one for smaller kids. Restrooms are available but there was no soap.

👍 We liked the beach. Its connected with Veterans Memorial Park and has three parking spots. The 1st section is a kids park and a long boardwalk goes along with beach. But It doesn't let you to the waters. The second section is bigger parking from where you can walk to beach. Third is the veterans par...
