Dorbrook Recreation Area
The Monmouth County Park System is
pleased to announce that 5.1 acres
have been added to Dorbrook Recreation
Area in Colts Neck, thanks to a
Conservation Foundation. This winter, New
Jersey Conservation donated a residential
property on Route 537 to the Monmouth
County Park System. Future plans for the
property include demolishing the vacant
residence and restoring the 5.1 acres as
parkland.
“I am very pleased that the Marion
Huber property has become part of Dorbrook
Recreation Area,” said Freeholder
Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Monmouth
County Park System. “My personal gratitude
is extended to the memory of Marion
Huber and the New Jersey Conservation Foundation.”
New Jersey Conservation received the property in 2006 from a trust established
by the late Marion Huber, who passed away in 2001. Marion’s nephew, the
late Michael Huber, was a New Jersey Conservation Foundation trustee.
“Marion Huber felt strongly about
preserving open space, and it was her intention
that the property would eventually
be used as parkland,” said Michele S. Byers,
executive director of the Far Hills-based New
Jersey Conservation Foundation. “We’re very
pleased to donate it to the Monmouth County
Park System, and I know that the land will
be well used by local families as part of Dorbrook
Recreation Area.”
One of the Park System’s most popular
sites, Dorbrook Recreation Area features
the barrier-free playground Challenger
Place, the Sprayground (a water-enhanced
play area), tennis courts, an inline skating
2.3 miles of paved trails. It also hosts numerous
recreation programs and summer
camps each year. Dorbrook Recreation Area is just one of Park System’s 43
sites. In total, the Park System manages over 17,000 acres of land throughout
the county, preserving more than 5 percent of the county’s area for current
and future generations to enjoy.
