Are you looking to enjoy a day of sun on the beach with friends and family or tour some of the county trails? Well Ocean County has you covered. The county offers two “beachwheels.” These are comfortable, PVC chairs with wide “balloon” wheels, which enable transportation over sandy surfaces. They will transport the beachwheels to any park facility in the Ocean County park system with 36-hours’ notice.

Identifying and highlighting various resources for accessible passive recreation is a very important piece to the work we and our partners focus on for Nature Accessible for All. Recently we uncovered an article about a father who built a hiking cart for his disabled daughter. This is a wonderful resource for keeping families together on the trail.

Join Mayor Robert Henken for the latest edition of the Mayor’s Briefing at Hidden Pines. Mayor Henken was joined by Sean Kane Holland, from the Pinelands Alliance, for a review of the pathway at Hidden Pines. To be able to construct this project, the Township worked with the Pinelands Commission to receive approval to build the pathway.
Through the Pinelands Alliance Access Nature Program, we helped advocate for more parks just like this, that allow accessibility for all.
With the help of the Pinelands Alliance, the Township’s Public Works Department, Recreation Department and the Stafford Township Police Department, the Township was able to obtain the approvals needed to construct the pathway, plant over 300 trees, and construct the walking bridge that helps connect the park. Thank you to all those involved in the project.
With the weather getting nicer, Mayor Henken and Township Council invite all to enjoy the new pathway at Hidden Pines. Parking for the pathway is located off Breakers Drive from Rt 72, and along the roadway at the intersection of Canale Avenue and Forecastle Avenue. See less
