"The park is always immaculate. Restrooms are very well maintained."
"A very nice place for all ages lots of rest rooms A+ and they are very nice and clean water and bottle filling stations."
"The facilities are clean and there's ample parking."
"The park is meticulous and provides plenty of garbage and recycling bins throughout the park."
"Playground for kids. Restrooms are available and clean."
"Beautiful park with living farm with cows, horses, sheep, pigs, and chickens."
Cons:
"Also, if you are a Verizon Wireless customer, you will have little to no signal here and there is no wifi."
"Trails are well maintained, but not as well marked as other parks."
"Something does not feel right about this park. The slides are made from a plastic.... but as my kids were using the slides.. literally every time as I was touching the slide, the hair on my whole arm literally stuck up like when touching a static electricity ball."
"I'm not one to speak in a negative tone and I love the Monmouth County parks. This is more of an informational post. I went today to the Ramanessin side for the first time ever. The entire place was covered in poison ivy."
"The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because there's not a bathroom near the upper playground."
"Lovely park but the bathroom needs a clean up and whats with the toilet paper dispenser being below the rim of the toilet bowl?"
"I'd give this park 5 stars since it's pretty but I'll give one for the aggressive and rude park Ranger."
Recreational Activities
Pros:
"This park is great for a big family gatherings or even just a solo stroll through the woods."
"During the winter, when conditions permit, there is a huge sledding hill (which is groomed by the park staff) and even ice skating."
"With a farm, 2 playgrounds, trails, forest, pond, sitting areas and lots of open field there is sooooo much you can do there."
"It’s a fun way to spend the day with family and friends and perhaps learn some history along the way."
"Great trails great for strollers or other walking devices if needed."
"The best feature is the colonial farm where you are free to roam and they often have special events, storytelling, sheep shearing etc."
"They have an ice skating pond, a section to sleigh ride, 10 miles of trails, a workout station."
Cons:
"There are two dirt paths on either side of the sledding hill for walking back up, but many people chose to ignore this, causing trouble for those sledding down."
"Bicycling is very limited and walking paved loop can be crowded on a nice day."
"It also gets crowded on the main path which makes it harder to social distance."
"Cow milking was in 3 pm so we couldn't see it."
"The shear number of people that go here, many of which can be rude and don't care what their kids are doing."
"Just becareful of the porta potty's though not the most taken care of things so ....just go before you go kinda deals."
"However, when you take into account the many harmful tragedies that occur nowadays, it would be wise for those in charge to seriously consider placing security cameras throughout the grounds."
Natural Beauty & Wildlife
Pros:
"There's a cute little pond and a dog park too."
"The scenery there is beautiful and the walking trails are well maintained."
"You might just sight a red tail hawk!!"
"The deer are everywhere, very cool 😎."
"We saw so many species of birds from mockingbird, catbird, red wing black bird and several more."
"The trees around the lake are beautiful specially this time of the year."
"It's a really nice large park with a lot of trails. I loved seeing all the dogwood trees at bloom."
Cons:
"Also connects to bayonet farms but is a little tricky to navigate there."
"I wish they had better signage in the gated area where there is a bunch of different cool trees."
"Always plenty of parking, but not always in the area we want to visit."
