Located in the Lincroft section of Monmouth County, Thompson Park is a beautiful place for visitors, with 667 acres of space. There are 14 miles of multiple use trails, including a 4.9 mile paved section. There is also a playground, a lake for fishing, tennis courts, picnic facilities, and an off-leash dog area.

 

The playground at Thompson Park features two separate areas: one section for toddlers and preschoolers, and another section for the older kids. Located next to the playground are quite a few picnic tables (including some with a BBQ grill) in shady areas, making this park a perfect place for a packed lunch after running around on the playground.

 

Thompson Park also features a fun drop-in geocaching program for families. The free kits provide all the equipment necessary – GPS device, maps, and step-by-step directions. The kits are available at the Visitor Center on weekdays from 9 am – 2 pm, and Saturdays from 10 am – 2 pm.
