The Department of Parks & Recreation now safeguards more than four thousand acres of land which is dedicated to the enjoyment of our citizens and the conservation of open space.

This impressive acreage includes sixteen parks, four conservation areas, and two golf courses. Four more outstanding facilities in Barnegat, Beachwood, and Brick are presently on the drawing boards.
