Some of the park's attractions include: * Bocce Ball Courts * Delaware & Raritan (D&R) Canal State Park Trail Access * Dog Park * Fishing * Fitness Trail * Golf Course * Large Playground * Miniature Golf * Nature Trails * Paddle Boating (Duck Boats) * Picnic Pavilions * Rose Garden & Sensory and Fragrance Garden * Spray Park * Tennis & Pickleball Courts The park also connects directly to the Delaware & Raritan (D&R) Canal State Park Trail via a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the canal. I've walked throughout the park and along the D&R Trail. Fitness stations are located along portions of the trail, and it's easy to create a scenic loop that passes the photogenic Stone Cottage and the spectacular Rose Garden area. The Splash Park is incredibly popular with families. On hot, sunny days, parking near the playground can be hard to find. So far, I've enjoyed the duck boats, miniature golf, fitness trail, nature trails, Rose Garden, and Splash Park. Next on my list are the bocce courts, which appear to be in excellent condition. If you're visiting the area, Colonial Park is a destination well worth your time.

It's a great town with a lot of good stuff to eat within 15 miles, and this is a great place for your dog to play as well, while you're eating said stuff, especially if you want to eat it without guilt-inducing eyes from your lovely cuddly dog. It's quiet and secluded on the back streets and pretty safe. It gets really cold in winter but then so does your mother's bedroom.

Both sides have water available for the dogs and a number of different obstacles for them to run around on off-leash and areas to drink, but also some random puddles. Owners have to keep an eye on their dogs, so even if they are social sometimes they can fight. Almost all the dogs I've met here have been pretty nice though. Lot of bugs at the edges, though, especially in the muddy areas, and I killed a tick I saw, too, so you have to be careful. Parking can get quite busy at peak times.

We even did a photo shoot with our dog a few years ago in the dog park. That was pretty dope. Being that this is a members only dog park - $25/year pending active dog license and current vaccinations for township residents - there is quite the comfort knowing that this place is secure, safe, and well maintained. Note that for people that don't live in South Brunswick, they can access the dog park for a fee of $200/year. I can't imagine anyone doing that. Just like other spots, there's an area for large dogs and small dogs. We've gone in the smaller section because our dog isn't that big. Just like you see in other places, there are two separate doors for security purposes. The first is accessible via key fob and the second opens up with your hook. Very secure. I do like that there are tennis balls in the dog park. Gives us something to play with. My dog was recently more interested in sniffing leaves than running around, but there are options, aren't there?

The park has two sides, and it was pretty busy when I went in the evening but still spacious. There were lots of families and tons of kids enjoying the playground and people walking the loop.

I noticed people playing cricket, baseball, and football, different fields available and there's even a small creek nearby.
