Tatum Park

Peaceful place to walk in trails through the woods and enjoy nature. Dog friendly and lots of parking. They also have a playground and bathrooms.

Nice 5+ miles trail with around 200ft elevation gain. Trail can get confusing at time so highly recommend to use a trail map / app. June onwards there are lot of nice flowers on the trail. I love the sweet smell of flowers during summer months. Recommend to start from the left side of park and come out from the children’s playground side (basically clockwise). There are picnic benches to sit down and enjoy at various spots. Also, you can visit the deep cut gardens across the street and enjoy the nice garden views and koi pond.

Beutiful, peaceful, and quiet. Very nice trails, both through woods and fields. What more could a park need?

Great park. Miles of hiking trails. Areas to do birding as well. Usually not very busy. You can park either at the Holland Rd. Lot or at the Red Hill Rd lot. Both locations have a bathroom. Red Hill Rd lot has a playground.

This is my favorite park near my house! Come around sunset and walk from the red hill road entrance.

It's a nice park, like an urban jungle. We tried the Indian Springs trail indicted by the color blue. It's a nice easy walk/trail that feels like walking through a forest.

This is the perfect spot to get the hang of mountain biking or go for a moderate ride with just a few tough hills and a lot of flat wooded dirt paths, grassy fields, and sandy areas. Good variety, pretty woods, and secluded area with a limited amount of bikers

Beautiful clean quiet park with easy trail to walk. I brought my dog we had a good morning! Love this park watch for ticks!!

I like to hike at this park after viewing the flowers over at Deep Cut Gardens. What's nice is that you can do a shorter hike or make it into a longer one, if you prefer. There is a whole section named for Dogwood trees, but they were not in bloom yet.

Awesome park. Nice clean trails. Was able to take dog on leash for an easy 5 miles in and out of woods and meadows. Perhaps trails could have been blazed a bit better as I did miss a turn and had to double back. If it's your first time here you might review trail maps found seemingly at every trailhead.

Amazing, barely any trash, and a good trail over all, my recent photos of the park I took 1 year ago today.

This is my favorite park in the area. Amazing trails for peaceful walks. Not exactly stroller friendly if you are using an ubrella stroller, but my jogger did well. They have a playground that is usually filled with kids. It’s a great place to get out and enjoy some nature.

Fun nature trails and some lead to beautiful meadows.

Great little playground with lots of shade and picnic table for not doing work on the laptop while kiddo plays. 😏

🚨 Just check for ticks! 🚨
Found one on my boot the other day, and we weren't even on the trails, just in the rubber covered playground area.

Fantastic park! Lots of amazing trails and fields, to walk on. Great wildlife, which you can hunt deer in, during the hunting season. Trails are dirt, sand and grass. Great for exercising in both the sun and the shade!

It was great! We held a brdial shower here for 30 people and it was perfect! We would always come here for park activities and to take walks and had no clue they held events here as well! The prices are fantastic and Ken the park manager was great to work with! Highly recommended checking them out for your next event!

I was married and did all my photos here. It's gorgeous. My husband and I walk the trails often. We also bring our 2 autistic teens and Labrador Milford. We all love it.

Beautiful park. Great for running, walking, crosscountry skiing. Never crowded. Well maintained as all Monmouth County parks. The mix of forest and fields with wide mown paths reminds me of Shelburne Farms in VT.

Really awesome running park. So many different paths and landscapes. There's probably 8-10 miles of unique trail with a largest possible loop of 5-6 miles.

This is a great park very impressive. It has some trails as well.

Great place for hogging or cross country
