Freehold Township has been providing outstanding recreational opportunities to residents of all age groups for more than 35 years.

In addition to being continually challenged to provide a variety of quality recreational activities, including events at our Senior Complex, trips and special events to an ever-increasing number of participants, the Parks and Recreation Department actively seeks to meet the demand for first rate programs, multi-purpose athletic fields and picnic areas as well as passive parklands.

Freehold Township has fourteen parks which offer the traditional neighborhood facilities, such as playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts and sand volleyball courts; while others offer a protected open space area. These park sites range in acreage from 0.5 acres to 226 acres.

Residents are encouraged to get involved in their park areas. Our Park Helpers keep us informed about our township parks. Call us if you see a problem developing and become a Park Helper.

Picnic and Room Rentals

Many fine picnic areas are available at Michael J. Tighe Park. While these areas are open to the public, they can be reserved for group use. If your group is looking for a great picnic site, give us a call. We have five beautiful sites in the park. People can cross from the Jackson Mills Road side of the park to the Georgia Road side of the park by way of a pedestrian bridge.
