Freehold Township to offer immersive virtual tours of two parks, officials say
Summary
Freehold Township hired First Look to build interactive 360-degree digital models of Michael J. Tighe Park and Durand Park & Memorial Arboretum to improve accessibility, wayfinding and online pavilion reservations, the Township Committee heard on June 9.
The Freehold Township Committee on June 9 heard a presentation from First Look outlining plans to create immersive 360-degree digital models of Michael J. Tighe Park and Durand Park & Memorial Arboretum.
John Anthony, Michael Elia and Peter Weiland of First Look described an interactive virtual park experience that will allow users to navigate park facilities and amenities—including playgrounds, pickleball courts, walking paths and pavilions—and to access wayfinding, pavilion reservation details, park news and educational content about trees and plantings within the arboretum. The Committee raised questions during the presentation and the Park and Recreation Board provided clarifications as needed.
According to the presentation notes in the minutes, the project is designed to enhance accessibility and community engagement by helping residents discover and learn about Township parks before visiting in person. The minutes record appreciation from the Committee to the First Look representatives and the Park and Recreation Board for the presentation; no formal action or funding approval for the project is recorded in these minutes.
Mayor Preston closed the meeting at 8:17 p.m.
