Park Advisory - All park events and picnics are currently suspended until April 30, 2020. Parks and open space will remain open to the public for passive recreation, including roads, parking areas, trails, lakes and other open space areas. However, restrooms, comfort stations, playgrounds, dog parks, basketball and tennis courts, the flying field, and similar facilities are closed until further notice in order to protect public health and safety. We ask that the public practice social distancing and refrain from large groups while enjoying our parks and open spaces.
IMPORTANT ALERT - The Parks and Recreation Administration building has been temporarily relocated to 95 Apple Orchard Lane, North Brunswick, 08902. The location at 1030 River Road in Piscataway is closed and is undergoing significant upgrades.
Our main number will remain the same, (732) 745-3900. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
Many of our developed parks offer picnic facilities that may be reserved for picnics and special events. A reservation permit must be issued to reserve these areas for all organized group activities.
Picnics
If you are looking to book a picnic in one of our Parks, please allow a minimum of two to four weeks when scheduling use of facilities. It may be useful to review the
Frequently Asked Questions for Picnics as well as the two worksheets below for more information about the picnic areas. All permits must be paid for and signed in person by the individual in charge of the picnic at the Parks Administration Office. Please call the reservation desk at (732) 745-3900 to reserve a picnic grove.
Special Events
Those wishing to book a special event or walk must first contact the reservation desk to establish park availability. You will then be asked to download a request form which is attached below. All permits must be paid for and signed by the individual in charge of the event, in person, at the Parks Administration Office.
If you plan on having a caterer, bounce house, or rented tents at your event, you must contact the
Middlesex County Fire Marshal to see if you are required to get a fire permit.
