thompson park

monroe, nj

large recreational park with many trails. variety of sportsgrounds including disc golf, basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields. there are a few different picnic grove sections with bbq grills, but because of how crowded this place can get, it doesn't strike me as the best park for a blanket picnic or relaxing outside time. it is better suited for a family bbq or outdoor gathering, or for the different physical activities the park space has to offer. by the lake you can see sunsets and there is also a mini zoo.
