When singer-songwriter Jonathan Richman sings in his signature childlike cadence about “That Summer Feeling” you can almost taste what he proclaims to be a feeling that you’ll take with you the rest of your days.

Our BestrentNJ.com Woodbridge based tenants at Fox Hill Run,  Forest ViewEvergreen EastEvergreen Forest and Cloverleaf Gardens will find the welcoming warmth of their own summer medley at Roosevelt Park where summers charms await. Dating back to 1917, this 196 acre park is the oldest park in the Middlesex County Park System.

With reduced parking and social distancing requirements now in place, you’ll find no shortage of open space and natural beauty whether you’re a walker, runner, reader or angler.

Bring your tennis racquet and a fresh can of balls (don’t you love the sound when you open a new can…whoosh!) and enjoy a volley or a match with a friend (no doubles for now, just singles). Tennis courts do NOT require reservations and are available on a first come / first served basis. Children under 12 years of age MUST be accompanied by an ADULT. However, after 7:00pm between May 1st and October 29th, anyone who wishes to play on a court that has lights must be in possession of an evening play pass. By clicking this link, you can apply directly for a Tennis Evening Pass.

Take note that as of Memorial Day, current ordinances restrict picnics, sports and large gathering while the playground and basketball courts remain closed. I suggest checking in at the parks website or calling the Office of Parks & Recreation at (732) 745-3900 (Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm) for up-to-the-minute news as we gradually re-emerge.
