The program provides quality recreational activities for elementary school-age (grades K-5) children on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 3-6 p.m. For more information, please call 732-460-1167, ext. 21. Throughout the year, the Monmouth County Friends of the Parks fund trips, parties and programs for this program.
Formed in 1991, the Friends of the Parks is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) registered charitable organization comprised of area citizens and businesses committed to the support of the Monmouth County Park System. In this day and age, when recreation funding must be stretched to meet the needs of a burgeoning population, membership dues, donations, and proceeds from special fundraisers furnish the financial assistance necessary to achieve a number of worthwhile goals.
What Do We Do?
Throughout beautiful Monmouth County, the Park System manages parks, golf courses, recreation areas, historic sites and stream valleys for your recreation and enjoyment. The Friends realize how important it is to protect and preserve the more than 18,000 acres of county parks and open space maintained by the Park System.
Memorial Bench
Honor the memory of a relative or friend or recognize a birthday, wedding, anniversary, retirement or other special event. Your tax deductible donation will underwrite the cost of the bench and its installation. The Friends will install a recognition plaque on each donated bench.
