Every year, over 1000 individuals enrich the Monmouth County Park System through their dedication in the Volunteers in Parks program. Working as a team with Park System staff, volunteers can be found helping in countless ways. Learn more about our volunteer team or download an application.
Each year the Park System undertakes a variety of capital improvement projects in the parks to expand recreational opportunities for our visitors, upgrade facilities and infrastructure, restore historic sites and structures, and enhance park landscapes through plantings and vegetation management.
Farm tours, nature walks and rock climbing are just a few of the reasonably priced activities available to schools (perfect for class trips), youth clubs and organizations, and community groups. All programs are led by Park System staff and provide a safe, enjoyable and educational experience.
