If you’re looking for a taste of nature in North Brunswick, NJ, you can look to one of the township’s many parks and open spaces — it’s home to over twenty of them.

At over 100 acres, North Brunswick Community Park is one of the biggest, complete with a dog park, baseball and softball facilities, a flagpole, soccer fields and playground equipment. These days, however, you might make most use of its 2.2 mile trail loop, ideal for walking, running, and simply taking in the fresh air amid the park’s many recreational facilities.

Looking for something that feels a bit more removed? Then you might consider the 1.1 mile loop at Farrington Lake, complete with beautiful resevoir views. Parking for the trail is located near the intersection of Riva Avenue and Davidson Mill Road in nearby South Brunswick. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can combine this with the trails at Davidson’s Mill Pond or Ireland Brooke Conservation Area.

As the Garden State re-opens with caution and safety in mind, residents can start to feel a bit of a sense of normality once more. Nonessential retail businesses will be allowed to reopen starting June 15th — though indoor malls will remain closed for now — and all state parks have been open since the beginning of May.
