"I have gone by this park all my life and never bothered to check it out until now. I had low expectations of the place on arriving. However I was pleasantly surprised by the place. My cousin and the dogs also enjoyed the park. It's comparable to the Mount Holly Mount, but more trails. It's a tiny park, but a nice one."
"Great area to walk, run and ride some hills in an otherwise relatively flat area. Not huge, but large enough for an afternoon of fun."
"I go here all the time. It's super small and quaint. Beautiful, but not worth going out of your way to see because all there is is some nice walking trails and a radio tower. If you live here, uh, heck yes check out the hill the town is named after! But have realistic expectations this ain't mount everest lol! i also will add that it's kind of hard to follow the trails, one time me and my friend accidentally ended up in someone's backyard? but idk if that's a me problem"
"I suppose this place would be good for a local who wants a brief walk in the woods where they never lose sight of the road, but it's not the type of state park with marked trails or anything. It's literally a walk up a hill and back. There's a radio tower at the top. A gravel path will take you up the hill to see it in about 3 minutes. I paired this with a trip to Rancocas just to check it off the list of state parks, and I recommend doing the same. Definitely don't come out of your way just to come here."
"One of the smallest state parks in New Jersey. There are trails to walk dogs and you can mountain bike on it as well. Some pretty steep sections with big rocks and roots, which are almost always covered with leaves so check the trail before bombing down a hill."
