  1. Dog Park


About the Park: 

Located inside Tindall Park off of Tindall Rd, there are agility courses, a fenced-in area beyond the obstacles that allow for your dog to explore the forest, and a paved and striped parking lot. Additionally there are separate areas for large and small dogs, benches for dog owners, leash holders, and water fountains for both people and dogs.

This project is funded through several initiatives, including a grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres Program.
