Since I go walking with a group on most Sundays, we heard that Riverwood Park has trails. It's an…read moreold park, which has a lot of history in Toms River. It's located right in busy Toms River. So, we checked it out. The front part of the park has athletic fields and an indoor covered dome for kids' athletic events. We saw lots of kids going in for that. We walked to the back of the park and saw the trailhead. The trails could be more clearly blazed. There was a map, but it was hard to follow. Still, we really enjoyed how the trails followed along the headwaters of the Toms River, where it looks more like a creek. There are lots of picnic tables at picturesque bends of the river. It seems as if you might be able to camp there, too, as campsites were marked, but we don't know for sure. There's no fee to enter or use the facilities. It's a fairly nice park, but there are better ones. I would recommend Cattus Island Park first.

Lifeguards are all young and extremely rude! Can't wait to get my mom out of that development

A True Gem for Cornhole Lovers!…read more I've been coming to Fun Bags Cornhole Lounge for the past three years, and it has truly become my home away from home! The atmosphere is welcoming, the competition is fun, and the community is one of the most inclusive and supportive you'll find anywhere. Owner Eric goes above and beyond to make sure everyone--from beginners to seasoned pros--feels welcome and has a great time. Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills, meet new people, or just enjoy a laid-back night out, this is the place to be. The leagues are well-organized, the vibe is always friendly, and there's never a dull moment. If you're in the Toms River area and haven't checked out Fun Bags, you're missing out! Highly recommend!

My girls had a blast here. The splash pad facility is so impressive. There are two huge play areas…read morewith tons of sprinklers, buckets and water tables. One area is a little bit better for smaller kids so it's nice that they have two different options. The best part about the splash pad is the reservation system. You must make a reservation online, and you have a 1.5 hour time slot. Splash pads can get packed on a hot day, so this was a great way to control the crowd. Once your time is up there's an enormous playground right next door. There is so much to see and do that you could easily spend hours here without getting bored. Overall this is a fantastic township recreation area. It's clean and well-maintained, and there are endless play options for kids.

The trails are perfect for walking your furry dogs, in-line skating, cycling, easy walking and pushing strollers. There is also a repair station with a tire pump and tools found near the basketball courts. The Challenger Place has finally finished and is a designed playground for kids who are blind or visually impaired. Their sport courts include tennis and basketball courts, as well as an in-line skating rink. The athletic field is available for rental and may be used for baseball games but not for practices. I have heard they have swimming pools but I personally did not see it. Instead, I saw a spray ground (water-enhanced playground) which was to open in mid-May but given our current situation with the COVID-19 outbreak, this is doubtful for mid-May 2020 due to the pandemic restrictions. Normally, it would open mid-May through early September. I would imagine the busiest time to be there with kids is during the height of summer because summer camps are held there by the Monmouth County Park System and Challenged Youth Sports from Middletown.

Kids can play in the playgrounds and it's mostly open space. Perfect for team sports to be played. Manalapan Day is held here, where there's fire crackers and a live brass band playing for everyone's entertainment. Easter egg hunts are also held here for little ones. I only minused a star because it could be maintained better but it's not the fault of the park. People walk their dogs but they need to please pick it up. Especially if it's on a trail. Currently as of March 2020, due to COVID-19, the park will be closed indefinitely.

Group lessons are much cheaper ...call ahead for the rates. The pros are really friendly here. You can play on the courts for a fee. Again call ahead for prices, they vary depending on the time of day/night. You can even rent a ball machine to practice your strokes. That is $10 an hour. On certain nights of the week they have round robin and mixed doubles. If you're a beginner, my suggestion is to take some lessons and spend the bucks if you wanna get good. In the late fall the courts are covered with a bubble so you can play in the winter, then they are taken down around Memorial Day.

I visited Manasquan for the first time in several years today and I was shocked at the level of disrepair evident everywhere in the club.
