Tick Advisory
Park Hours: Airport Meadows - Dawn to Dusk
Spring Valley - Open by appointment
Named after the Lenape word for “finishing place,” the 115-acre Wickatunk Recreation Area offers fields and forests. Established in 2010, the site is home to the former Marlboro Airport and the recently acquired Spring Valley section. Since its initial acquisition, the Park System has cleared remnants of the airport and is preserving the Airport Meadows section as open space. With its protected habitats for woodland creatures and birds, the area is an ideal spot for nature walks.
In accordance with New Jersey’s Smoke Free Air Act, all Monmouth County parks are tobacco free. The ban applies to cigarettes, pipes, cigars, e-cigarettes, and vaporize cigarettes, as well as smokeless tobacco such as snuff and chew.
