Resident proposes new park plan with river access to Toms River council

A new park proposal is making waves in Toms River, as a local resident presented an exciting concept during the recent council meeting. The plan, introduced by Julie Adam, aims to transform a prime piece of land near the river into a vibrant community park.

Adam highlighted the need for additional recreational space, noting that the proposed site is conveniently located less than a mile from the town center, right across from Walgreens. The vision includes features such as a skate park, soccer fields, ample parking, and even access to the water for a potential tiki bar.

"This would be a lovely place for a park," Adam stated, emphasizing the importance of integrating nature with recreational facilities. The proposal also aims to preserve the natural beauty of the area, allowing for walking paths and green spaces.

The council members received the proposal enthusiastically, with plans to review the concept further. As Toms River continues to grow, this initiative could provide much-needed outdoor space for residents to enjoy. The next steps will involve discussions on feasibility and community input, ensuring that the park meets the needs of the community.
