Forests and farm fields are being developed. New houses and commercial buildings replace treasured landmarks. Favorite woods and streams are now someone's back yard. Traffic is increasing. Sprawl is everywhere around us. While we each have a personal vision of Monmouth County in the future, I believe that we are all united in the view of a permanent landscape that includes open space for recreational pursuits, protection of water resources, preservation of natural areas, and the improvement of our collective quality of life. This is the goal of the County Open Space Plan. How do we get to that future? The County has committed to specific advocacy, stewardship, and acquisition actions outlined in this Open Space Plan. These actions are expected to take us to the goal of 19,099 acres of permanently preserved County-owned open space. You can also make a positive and permanent difference in the future of Monmouth County by actively supporting this Open Space Plan. Consider the Plan a call to action. Express your interest in open space preservation to your elected officials and your local planning board. If you are an elected official, plan for and invest in open space within your community. Contribute to local preservation efforts by fundraising or volunteering. And show that public open space is important to you by visiting and using the parks in your area. Thank you for taking the time to read this plan and share in the vision of a green Monmouth County. I hope you find the information helpful and that you will want to visit the more than 13,000 acres already preserved and managed for your use and enjoyment by the Monmouth County Park System, Monmouth County's open space, parks, and recreation agency.

Exhibiting great resources, escalating property values, and increasing foresight, the Freeholders knew that the growth in public demand for control of growth and provision of development would fuel an increased demand for public recreation services - are even greater in 2006. recreation, while consuming many of the landscapes that Forty-five years after establishing the first county park, made Monmouth County a desirable place. the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders Today in 2006 the county population exceeds 645,000, remains committed to the preservation of open space and the Monmouth County Planning Office projects that and the provision of public parks.

    DEP, Monmouth Nonprofit Add 190 Acres to Allaire State Park

    Septe mber 20, 2019 DEP’S GREEN ACRES PROGRAM PURCHASES 190-ACRE ADDITION TO ALLAIRE STATE PARK IN MONMOUTH COUNTY TRENTON – The Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Acres Program and the nonprofit Monmouth Conservation Foundation have completed the $3.8 million purchase of 190 acres of forests and forested wetlands that will be added to Allaire State Park in Monmouth County. “Acquiring this land and adding it to Allaire State Park has long been a priority for the New Jersey State Park Service,” said Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe. “We are excited to be able to expand the park by purchasing land that offers opportunities for fishing, hiking, biking, bird watching and other outdoor activities. In addition, this purchase protects coastal habitats in the headwaters of the Manasquan River.” Protecting land and natural habitats is a key priority of the DEP. The closing took place Aug. 29, with the Estate of Fred McDowell Jr. The Green Acres Program provided $3,618,000 for the purchase, using a matching grant from the National Park Service. In addition, the Monmouth Conservation Foundation provided $201,000 toward the purchase, of which $100,500 was provided by the Green Acres Program as a nonprofit grant to the foundation. “This didn’t happen by chance,” said Monmouth Conservation Foundation Executive Director William Kastning, “Both the Foundation and the state have had a long-held interest in seeing this land preserved. When the property heirs became interested in selling, we were proud to present the opportunity to the state and initiate conversation. It’s very exciting to see this land protected forever as an addition to Allaire State Park.” At more than 3,200 acres, Allaire State Park is best known for its historic 19th-century iron-making town, Allaire Village, and its antique steam trains on the Pine Creek Railroad.
