Huddy Park

Buddy park is perfect for this fun little town called Highlands, NJ. They were having a farmers market here when I visited. Fresh veggies galore, local beer and hooch for sale and a vendor was selling fresh mozzarella cheese 🧀!

Had a great experience during the New York Bike day, 2016 which started from the beautiful Huddy Park. A nice neighborhood to spend some laid back vacation time, with great friendly people. Has some good cafes nearby with very tasty food.

You can't go to Highlands without going to Huddy Park. That's just how it is. It is Highlands!

Great time at the clamfest. The band was excellent.

Clam fest was awesome! Cousins Maine lobster truck had the best tacos I've ever had!

Small and serene. Enough benches and a gazebo if you want to be in the shade. Cute playground to watch the kids play and an excellent coffee shop right across the street! And if you prefer busier, at the curb is the bus for a quick trip into Red Bank!

Small park, but very nice .
I was there to participate in the Ride New York Twin Lights Bike Tour. Had wonderful day, excellent weather conditions and chance to meet other cyclist. Park is large enough to accommodate the few thousand cyclists that were in the tour.

Sat on one of the benches to enjoy my coffee and pastry from Wateewitch Coffee Shop across the street. Well maintained and clean local park. The Highlands Garden Club adds to the experience with the beautiful flowers and plantiings!

Our local park is a great place for kids and families.

Huddy Park is the center of Highlands, NJ, and while there's lots to talk about nearby -- Et Al (great prepared food!), Waterwitch Cafe (great vibe, great coffee!) and In the Garden (love their flowers!) -- it seemed like a perfect spot to say what I love about Highlands: Location, Location, Location! It never fails to amaze me, how well situated the town of Highlands is.

First, It offers beautiful views of the ocean, river, bay and NYC (check out Eastpointe scenic overlook on Ocean Ave or any of the bayfront or riverfront beaches/parks.

Second, it provides easy access to all kinds of waterfront activities: ocean swimming, surfing, river fishing, sailing in the bay, windsurfing, even transportation to NYC by high-speed ferry and so much more. You’re just over the bridge to neighboring Sea Bright as well as Sandy Hook, part of Gateway National Recreation Area with its many beaches, walking trails and bike paths.

Highlands is also where you will find the truly spectacular Hartshorne Woods — a Monmouth County park comprised of 700 acres of woodland trails perfectly suited for running, walking, mountain biking and quiet solitude. Whether you wan to get lost in the woods or picnic with a view of the Atlantic, Hartshorne Woods does not disappoint.

And did I mention the views? In Highlands you’ll find yourself at one of the highest points on the eastern seaboard, towering over the landscape and offering vistas unlike anywhere else. Because of it’s elevation, Highlands became a key spot on the horizon for seafarers for many years. Visit the historic Twin Lights Lighthouse and you’ll understand why it was sometimes the first “welcome sign” that many saw just prior to entering New York harbor. When still in operation, its fresnel lens was seen over 20 miles out at sea! And here you can stand where Marconi put into service the first wireless telegraph. You can even climb to the top of one of the lighthouse towers.

There’s a whole lot more to love about Highlands (wait till I tell you about the food!) but first, just get yourself here and appreciate the location: at the beach, close to the woods, easy proximity to NYC. We moved here over 20 years ago and have loved every moment.

Neat park, good for children. They have a jungle gym and a swing set. You can also find lots of "Kindess Rocks" in the park. It's a Facebook thing.

A lovely little park in the quaint little seaside clamming town of Highlands. It is well maintained, has a play ground area and lovely gardens.
