A booming winter with plenty of snow was followed by a slow thaw to spring (with some damage to the golf greens). But a busy summer and outstanding fall more than made up for the late start. One of our most important annual measurements of success—attendance—was up 11% in 2015 (p. 6), revenue increased by 7% (p. 11), and 382 new acres of parkland were preserved (p. 7). Also, the Park System opened five new or improved recreation facilities, and offered one new winter golf tournament and three new, large-scale special events (pp. 3-4). We invite you to review all the Park System accomplishments, land acquisitions and attendance statistics, as well as the financial report for 2015 on the following pages. Then, come out and visit one or all of the county parks in person. They are yours to discover throughout the seasons, open every day of the year. 2 WINTER & SPRING The year began with two, brand new cold-weather special WinterFest events. Temperatures for Thompson Park’s first WinterFest were truly ‘arctic,’ yet thousands attended this inaugural celebration. Conditions for Shark River’s first Polar Golf Tournament were milder, but still presented novel challenges. The generous snowstorms that followed solidified the popularity ofcross-country ski and snowshoe rentals, and the ongoing cold ensured many good days for ice fishing andskating , and sledding.

Creative Arts & Music Festival While the cold lingered and spring got off to a slow start, the Park System celebrated two historic site improvements and hosted another new event. A 120-ton, WWII-era gun barrel from the Battleship New Jersey was transported from Virginia to Battery Lewis at Hartshorne Woods Park, to become part of the newly-established Navesink Military Reservation. Renovations were completed on the elegant Holland Activity Center in Tatum Park and this historic farmhouse re-opened for programs and rentals. Thompson Park hosted its first, two-day Creative Arts & Music Festival to celebrate local artisans.

WWII-era Gun Barrel for Battery Lewis SUMMER & FALL Wind & Sea Festival The beaches were busy, park attendance was up across the county, and good weather helped our newest waterfront adventures gain traction: the Ultimate Frisbee Tournament at Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park, Tidal Tuesdays at Fisherman’s Cove Conservation Area and the launch of the Wind & Sea Festival at Bayshore Waterfront Park were all a success. We welcomed completion of the extended 495 ft. fishing pier at Bayshore Waterfront Park, a new boat launch and fishing facility at Swimming River Park (formerly Chris’ Marina), a new Disc Golf Course at Wolf Hill Recreation Area, and our second FootGolf Course at Pine Brook (18 holes). Ultimate Frisbee Tournament

Autumn was unseasonably warm with mild weather that lasted through the holidays. Runners, anglers, golfers and other outdoor enthusiasts enjoyed an extended season for activity and exercise. As the year drew to a close, the completely redesigned SkatePlex opened at Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park in Long Branch to much fan-fare.

4 2015 FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS Howell Park Golf Course–New Bridges Last winter, a team of bridge specialists removed six original bridges dating back to the1970s and constructed new ones. The bridges cross tributaries of the Timber Swamp Brook, which also provides irrigation for the course.

Dorbrook Recreation Area–Tennis Court/Rink Resurfacing This park celebrated its 30th anniversary this year, so it’s not surprising the heavily used tennis courts and hockey rink needed a touch-up.

Thompson Park–Pond Dredging Two man-made ponds that had filled in over time along Route 520 and the Maintenance Rd. were dredged to restore water quality and establish a healthy wildlife habitat.

Holmdel Park–Forest Edge Parking Area Renovations Attendance at this busy park is well over one million visits per year; so the roads, parking lots and sidewalks that help people get in and around are more important than ever.

Deep Cut Gardens–Maintenance Barn A larger, more accessible storage space was installed to help staff keep the manicured fields and gardens of this park looking beautiful. 2015 COUNTY PARK VISITATION Holmdel Park 1,249,263 Manasquan Reservoir 1,104,840 Thompson Park 766,763 Dorbrook Recreation Area 725,646 Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park 578,790 Turkey Swamp Park 286,648 Hartshorne Woods Park 243,973 Henry Hudson Trail 205,121 Bayshore Waterfront Park 194,109 Mount Mitchill Scenic Overlook 175,263 Wolf Hill Recreation Area 170,225 Tatum Park 164,311 Shark River Park 131,708 Historic Longstreet Farm 102,188 Deep Cut Gardens 100,057 Huber Woods Park 97,577 East Freehold Showgrounds 97,558 Charleston Springs Golf Course 52,012 Fisherman’s Cove 45,907 Shark River Golf Course Clayton Park 37,156 Hominy Hill Golf Course 34,514 Howell Park Golf Course 34,505 Shark River Golf Course 34,108 Bel-Aire, 18-hole course 24,076 Monmouth Cove Marina 23,866 Pine Brook Golf Course 23,217 Union Transportation Trail 22,079 Perrineville Lake Park 16,035 TOTAL PARK VISITS IN 2015 Historic Walnford 13,805 6,767,577 Bel-Aire, 9-hole course 12,257 6 2015 LAND ACQUISITION NEW PARK ACRES Bayshore Waterfront Park 0.1 Manasquan River Greenway 9

The Park System acquired 11 acres of prime waterfront property in Middletown with the purchase of Chris’ Landing Marina, now part of Swimming River Park. Another 122 acres for the newly established Freneau Woods in Aberdeen/Marlboro helped it grow that park substantially, while 165 acres at Crosswicks Creek and 17 acres at Big Brook filled missing parcels within existing parks. In total, 382 acres of land were added to 13 park properties in 2015. The Park System now owns/manages 16,557 acres of open space at 43 sites in Monmouth County. Another 2,792 acres are protected by easement (NOT shown on map). The county’s total open space inventory is now 19,349 acres.

Sunnyside Equestrian Center remains the largest dedicated volunteer area, but volunteers also logged significant hours as front desk staff (docents) and helping out at special events, programs and camps. In addition to all their regular clean-up and maintenance duties, Garden/Pruning Team volunteers are also now trained to help manage the growing number of invasive species. Here are the dedicated groups and individuals (>40 hours) who gave their time in 2015.
