There is a multi-use paved path that meanders through the property with views of the Lakewood Historical museum (not dog friendly), sports fields/courts, and a lot of picnic areas! This path is also used for vehicles, so be careful. A portion of the Metedeconk river flows through and it's very picturesque. In nicer weather, you can enjoy a meal at Maggie's Bar & Grill's outdoor tiki bar!

Was here recently for the Brick House Softball Tournament with my daughter. Let me start with a…read morefull disclosure statement-the fields were an absolute mess because of some significant rainfall on the friday before the tournament so we weren't able to use all of the fields we were supposed ot use, we weren't happy that the fields hadn't been prepared for play, and we even had teams drop out from the tourney because of the mess. That said, you can't fight Mother Nature and we made due with what we had. This is a VERY nice park, located in Lakewood, NJ with multiple ballfields (baseball and softball); walking trails; basketball, handball, and tennis courts; camping and picnic areas; playgrounds; and HUGE open and wooded areas. I love that in a state that gets killed for it's urban areas and dirtiness by comediens and jackasses who don't know better we have so many beautiful parks, recreational areas, forests and open areas throughout the state (for those that don't know, NJ is more than 40% forested). Off my soapbox and back to Pine Park...This park is really quite beautiful, and I was here when there were no leaves on the trees. Located adjacent to the Lakewood Country Club Golf Course the park is a wonderfully quiet area once you turn off of the main road. I will say that if you're here for softball/baseball and you don't know the park well-the signage is simply terrible or non-existent. You'll have a tough time finding the specific field you are looking for so make sure you know ahead of time that you may need to drive deep into the park to find your location. A big Thank YOU to the town of Lakewood for providing such a beautiful park to it's residents and for letting us beat up on the fields a little bit.

However, due to its popularity, it can be a little more busy. I'm pretty sure the fields are used for sporting events here, so that's when I would expect this park to be a little more busy.
