It one of the better small spots in woodbridge,i have been visiting this place for like 7 years and it has progressed and transformed since i first saw it.It is generally quiet and empty other them birdwatchers and fishermen.there are a few odd surprises if you explore enough. I often enjoy a walk tho to see nature or occasionally bring my kayak out here to explore. great spot to take nature photos.
Great place for a relaxing walk. You get to look at all the varieties of plant life and embrace nature.
Just large enough to feel you could get lost in wonderful nature. Great trail
Nice place for the whole family, very nice .
It wont be good to take kids here very small park just 1 entrance not accessible for wheel chair its really off the road view
Nice for family time
Great place to go to clear your mind and chill
We are from Utah and we were looking for a nice place to stop and relax to kill some time. I wanted to see some whitetail deer or a turtle. We did see an osprey which was cool. But not deer or turtle
Secluded place, youre surrounded by nature. Bring your mud shoes!
Awesome.
A lot of potential, but many of the trails are overgrown. Still had a good time. Lots of wildlife. Bring bug spray!
Beautiful. esp 4 Woodbridge which is quite dumpy n boring typically. this lil slice of heaven is a nice change from the awful dystopia of everyday life in 07095.
Nice place to go
Nature in the big saw many Whitetail deer
Wow. It might be small, but theres majesty in it all.
Its great that this tract of land was preserved as a nature reserve. A lot to the surrounding area has been already developed, so its good to have this saved for everyone to enjoy. The best time to come is from mid-spring to early autumn. There are a lot of animals in the area, especially in the swampy pond that can be found in the interior.
Nice until you realize they dont warn you about snakes. Went a couple times and have seen more than a handful once you go over that bridge. Big snakes too. I even brought my kids and our dog there. Never going back.
Good marsh area. Nice for birdwatching.
Perfectly serene park with abundant wildlife.
Nice local park. saw many birds
Great place for a walk and enjoy nature.
A beautiful place to get back to nature...my dog love it!!!!! Very nice and friendly people there....
Doesnt look like it did in the 70s. I grew up right up the road at the trailer park and I have to say that based on the pictures someone did a fantastic job reclaiming this area.
The paths through the park could use some work as the heavy equipment ruts are still visible and can be confused with the overgrown trails. Still, this has been an incredible conservation/reclamation project and all of the groups involved should be proud of the progress thats been made.
Great variety of wildlife & wildflowers
One of the most beautiful places in the area. Its not very large but is a lovely escape from our everyday. Saw 2 heron, a crane and a dozen deer there today.
Beautiful little spot but the trails are way too overgrown
There was alot of poop everywhere, bring boots or non running sneakers.
Nice place to go for a walk with kids. Kids can connect to nature.
Very interesting. Lots of flowers, birds, insects, frogs and snakes.
A small beautiful restoration and habitat preservation park/project here in Avenel, NJ because of Ernest L. Oros and the many organizations that care to restore some part of the wild life that used to thrive here. This isnt a big place, that is true, but thats okay, if you live close, and like nature, check it out; the secluded area also makes this a nice spot for quiet walks. It is a little gem in the middle of an otherwise poorly kept part of Avenel. It is also an on going project, so more flowers have been planted since the pictures above. A nice place to visit on a sunny day in Summer or Spring to observe all kinds of animals and flowers. Please throw your trash out there are recycling bins in the front. (I seen people litter here)
