Located across the street from Deep Cut Gardens. This nice hilly park is also run by the Monmouth…read moreCounty Park System. It has 5 major trails, from easy to moderate. I did the easy trail, named Holly Grove. Since I was not familiar with the park I wanted to try Holly Grove first. It is 1 km in length,, a winding Trail through the woods. I found that I could run most of it, but since it was so hot I did not. Next time I'll trek through the moderate ones. The park also has a playground for children and a building for local events, plus clean restrooms. The park closes at dusk.

As someone who has lived in New Jersey my whole life and visited many parks and gardens, I can…read morehonestly say Deep Cut Gardens was one of the most beautiful places I've experienced in the state. We visited on a sunny day in early May around 11:30 AM. Not everything was fully in bloom yet, but the greenery, trees, shrubs, and gardens were absolutely beautiful and created such a peaceful, serene atmosphere. Parking is a bit limited, but we were able to find a spot fairly quickly. The grounds were easy to walk, beautifully maintained, and full of great photo spots. I also loved the maze garden area and the small reading/sunroom space, which added such a charming touch. I even saw people having picnics, and it immediately made me want to come back and do the same. Only small thing to note: we did notice some poison ivy in certain areas, so just be mindful. Overall, easy to get to, peaceful, and absolutely worth visiting. Already looking forward to coming back in June when everything is in full bloom.

Though there are height limits for some games. You get your own private room for pizza and cake and then they move you out onto the benches outside. We literally stayed there for over 5 hours.

There are a lot more for the younger crowd than other parks around the area. The go karts and batting cages are a nice addition. There's a parking lot right behind and next to the park, so no searching for parking. There's a waterpark across the street, Runaway Rapids. We can't wait until the summer to go. It's so much fun.

We visited the park in the afternoon, the water was calm and the beach wasn't too steep. Found few people fishing along the shore and enjoying early spring evening. The atmosphere was pleasant, very relaxing and perfect for hang out with friends and family at the beach. There is a field where one can enjoy a quick run or bike ride in the summer. Also found a small kids playground adjacent to the beach ideal for families visiting with kids. There is also a free parking lot next to the park with a community rest room. The restroom is very poorly maintained and would suggest you to not use it unless necessary. Overall I would strongly recommend you to visit the park for a relaxing pleasant evening with friends and family at the beach.

And one time one of the life guards called my kid and her friend stupid, so I told the manager and then the manager told me he has anger issues.
