We went to check out Bernard Cooke memorial, my kids loved it. The bike paths are nice for both older kids and little ones. And it has really nice playground equipment even my older ones enjoyed it.

We just went to Lake Riviera. Stunning, with a beach and a playground and even a baseball field and basketball court. This is in Brick, ten minutes from my house.

On a side note, are Jews moving to Lake Riviera yet? I’m obsessed with the neighborhood but don’t want to be a pioneer.

Also the Jackson library has a jungle play Park , a sprinkler park and a skateboard park all in same place. Great if you're going with kids all different ages or need to entertain for a while!

Right on Squankum? Like you see it driving by, there are often big organized games going on there? We always talk about whether it would be a good place to go - we're always looking for new parks!
