New Event Scheduled for January 10!

Chilly weather doesn't mean the Park System isn't preparing for fun! We've decided to show our visitors just how much enjoyment you can get outdoors during the cool winter months. WinterFest is coming to Thompson Park, Lincroft! Scheduled for Saturday, January 10 from 1:30-5:30 p.m., this all new special event is sure to cure you of your winter blues!

Check out the activities we have planned:

FREE FUN:
  • Frozen Scavenger Hunt
  • Discover Animal Tracks with a Park System Naturalist
  • Ice Fishing Simulation
  • Snowman Building Contest
  • Broom Ball
  • Snowball Fight
  • Winter Character Parade (dress up as your favorite character and join in the fun)
