PARK
Prospect
Park is a township-owned site with 29 naturally wooded acres of
land located at the intersection of Shrewsbury Drive and Laurel
Avenue.
The
park opened in October, 2010 with shared hiking and mountain biking
trails and is accessible daily from dawn to dusk. There is approximately
two miles of hiking/biking trails with a quarter-mile handicapped
access trail.
A parking area can accommodate up to ten cars; overflow parking
is available on Shrewsbury Drive.
Parts
of the Lenape Trail (also called the Liberty WaterGap Trail) wind
through Prospect Park. The nature trails have boardwalks to protect
environmentally sensitive areas and also contain educational components
including tree identifiers.
