Parks & Recreation

IMPORTANT ALERTS

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.

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.
