Marlboro Township is best known for quiet neighborhoods and good schools, but there is plenty to do close to home. Here are some favorites our drivers recommend.
Big Brook Park
This Monmouth County park covers more than 400 acres of woodlands, wetlands and fields, with trails for walking, running and biking. Big Brook is also known for fossil hunting in the brook itself.
The Henry Hudson Trail
The paved Henry Hudson Trail runs through the area and connects with Big Brook Park — a good, flat route for an afternoon walk or bike ride.
Township parks and recreation
Marlboro’s Municipal Park Complex and Recreation Way Park have sports fields, courts and playgrounds, and the township runs seasonal events throughout the year.
Shopping and dining
Route 9 and Route 79 are lined with shopping centers and restaurants, from Italian dining rooms to casual taco and seafood spots. Freehold Raceway Mall is about 20 minutes away.
Nearby nights out
The PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel hosts big summer concerts, and Red Bank and Asbury Park are a short ride for dinner and live music.
Heading out for the evening? Let us drive — book a ride to dinner or a concert and leave the car at home.
