Reviews Summary

"Nice little cruise on the bikes over here in huddy Park nice little destination"

"The park has areas where you can sail in from the river and temporarily tie up your boat for a walk about.
It's named after a locally famous man from Toms River history. The park provides a relaxing view of parts of the river.
During warm weather months, a Farmers Market is held here on Wednesday until 4:00 pm.
The only downside is that portions of the park, including the central gazebo are fouled with Canada geese droppings. I did not encounter any geese during my visit.
The main access point and parking lot is off of Water Street in Downtown Toms River. The island portion of the park is accessible by a footbridge. A secondary parking lot and access is found on the western, far side of the park. Huddy Psrk one of the many Toms River riverside parks that add to the charm of the town making it highly desirable location."

"A nice and quiet park, the problem is that there is a lot of animal feces on the paths, and it's not really nice to accidentally step on it. Lol"
