Park development

In 2009, the park was converted from the 80-year-old 18-hole Oak Ridge Golf Course.[1] The conversion was met with opposition from local golfers.[1]

The park features an archery range, the only one in Central Jersey.[2]

Development of the park is expected to cost $10 – $20 million.[3]
