Great park. We visited on a 90 degree day and didn't feel the heat at all. The playground was…read moremostly shaded which was awesome and we were able to sit and eat lunch at a shaded picnic table. Lots of trash containers around as well as restrooms to use. Overall very clean and a great spot that keeps you cool in the heat! The whole area has a lot of very big trees which makes it nice.

Named after our chief of police (s) that served our town faithfully for many years. Phillips Park…read morehas a play ground, basketball court picnic area and two baseball fields used mainly by the HYAA. If you walk around the fields and perimeter of the park a couple times you can get a mile or two in. When you enter the park to the right there is a beautiful memorial Veteran's Park War Memorial, for those who served in our community. There is a sitting area for prayer and reflection. About our Chief Phillips's: Joseph Phillips Joseph Phillips was Holmdel's first Chief of Police. Chief Phillips served the Department from 1947 until 1971, while also serving as the Township's school bus driver, and mailman. R. Bruce Phillips Bruce Phillips was appointed as a Patrolman with the Holmdel Police Department in 1965, and was one of only three Officers in the Township. He was promoted to Sergeant in 1968, and as Chief of Police in 1971. Under Chief Phillip's guidance, the Department grew to 42 Officers. Also during his tenure he oversaw the creation of numerous programs, including Neighborhood Watch, Domestic Violence Response Team, Police Youth Academy, the Department's participation in the Homdel Drug and Alcohol Alliance, and much more.

Mercer County Park is a complete park that offers something for just about everyone's needs…read more Whether you're looking to take the kids to the lake for a swim, go kayaking, let the dogs off leash in the fenced in dog park, ride your bike along paths both paved and natural, or just go walkabout to enjoy the largest park in the county. There are even a small number of campsites that can be reserved during certain times of the year. There are also large playing fields that host tournaments throughout the year for baseball, soccer, lacrosse, etc., and rowing regattas are hosted on the lake. At 3.9 square miles, Mercer County Park is a whopping 1.7% of the total acreage in all of Mercer County. The NE portion of the park is part that I like best, as it's also the part that gets the least amount of traffic, with the only folks you see being people walking the trails, birdwatchers and BMX bike riders. I wouldn't advise taking a gravel bike on the paths in this part of the park. I used to come here often with my bike, but now I'm also enjoying the trails on foot. If you're a road bike owner who's just looking for a short ride, the paved paths that run the length of the park, and the broad shoulder of the main road offer a good conditions for a road bike, but you'll need to look elsewhere for a longer, challenging ride. Also, I've yet to encounter the entitled dog owners who think that the leash regulations don't apply to them. I'm sure that they're out there, but perhaps they're not as common as they are at places like Mercer Meadows or Mountain Lakes--fingers crossed.

Great family park, great for walking, running, a nice stroll, picnic in the summer, day date,…read moreplaying football, soccer and softball.

Pincushion moss along the Blue Trail.  Don't forget to look down now and then, or you'll miss some good stuff...or trip over it.

Such a cute and well maintained park! Sometimes going to the Squares just isn't the vibe, this park…read moreFEELS like a real park. Lots of benches, picnic tables, a small playground, basketball court, dog park and direct access to the water and river trail. Everything was clean and the park is really well kept!

I…read morealways break stride of my elite 9 minute mile pace, pause the Watch the Throne album blasting in my ears, and walk through this park. It is a great moment to just take in the peaceful energy. I love this place and parks like it in general. Everyone is just out enjoying life: Kids playing basketball, friends having picnics, people playing tennis, others reading a book or taking a calm walk with their airpods in, dogs running around the dog park while their owners watch from the sidelines, etc. The kids playing basketball always gets me a little emotional because that used to be me and my friends before the responsibilities of adulthood caused my cortisol levels to go through the roof. All we cared about was playing basketball and having fun. It's like a little time portal to the past. The FMC tower watches over the park, reflecting the sky. I always get fascinated with buildings like this and it makes me appreciate human beings. Like we just built that thing no problem. Wild. I can't close out this review without shouting out running. I could be spiraling into the abyss of negative thoughts and force myself to go for a run, and it completely alters my brain chemistry. I feel like I can do anything after a run. It has done more for me than any drug ever could. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

I've played company softball on this field several times over the past few years. It used to be a…read morereally crappy field (read: torn up grass, weeds, divots, shoddy infield, pretty much dilapidated and forgotten-- conditions not conducive to a softball or baseball game) up until a couple years ago when it was totally renovated.* Now, it's totally, shall I, say beautiful? Well, if you like turf, it's quite nice. So, obviously it's a no cleats field. There is a really nice track that surrounds the one field as well. There are stands for observers, bathrooms (which is a HUGE plus for athletes. Trust me...when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Also, the bathrooms are clean, AND they have soap and hand towels! I was amazed.**), and locker rooms, but those aren't open to the general public and are solely for students who go to MB high school. The field is impeccably maintained too. I saw one groundskeeper (no, it wasn't Willy) who actually raked the infield when we were finished with our game last night. I guess my only gripe is it'd be great if the infield was covered to protect it from rain. It was slightly muddy at home plate last night. Oh, and since it's almost directly under the Manhattan Bridge, it can get a little noisy, so you might have trouble hearing your infield. So, if you belong to a NYC softball league and are scheduled to play here, you're lucky, because it's one of the nicer turf fields in the city. *This could also be called "Verizon Field" if you want to be all corporate about it. I think they gave the high school money for remodeling. **Maybe if I knew you better I'd tell you of the bathroom horror stories at most softball fields...flies, no doors, port-o-potties, or no bathroom at all, which doesn't help if say, you've drunk too much Gatorade and can't stand and pee like a guy. Oh, I've said too much.

dirt infield which runs deep enough for baseball. softball outfielders will normally end up…read morestanding on the dirt. the rest of the field is turf, but non-metal cleats ARE allowed. nice views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. a previous review said turf and no cleats allowed, but that's incorrect. nice field, but well out if the way. best path is F train to east broadway stop, but that's still a 4-5 block walk from there.
