This is a public park \nURLS:\n
This space is amazingly beautiful. It is right on the band of the Navesink River, and it very large in size. The park completely overlooks the river, and has spaces where people can eat lunch, place their boats, dance, have dinner, etc... That park includes a marina, outdoor seating facing the river where people can come and have lunch with a scenic view, a "dance floor", where they host Argentine Tango lessons, and plenty of grassy terrain where they show free movies during the summer. This place is special because it has something for absolutely everyone. Whether you want to have a peaceful meal away from the office on your lunch hour, or want to go for a run, or take your kids to see a movie, you can do so while also enjoying a gorgeous view of the Navesink River. There is always so much to do in this gorgeous park, and it is so clean and well-maintained. The town really takes such pride in this park, and it really does show in it's beauty.
This place is accessible by foot, transport, or other non-auto transportation and is located right on the border of town, with a huge sign to welcome you. People circulate in it by going for jogs, taking their children for strolls, or going to eat their lunch o their lunchbreak.
In this space, vehicles do no dominate any space at all, and where it is located is very convenient. There is a choice in seating largely around the park, and it is kept so clean and tidy. The area feels very safe as well.
People do regularly use this space because there are huge ranges of activities for all age groups and genders. The range of activities include a marina, movies in the park (summer), annual fireworks over the river every fourth of July, tango lessons on the waterfront, and so much more. Mostly every part of the space is used.
This place is mostly one in which locals dominate the space, unless there is an event going on (movies in the park, fireworks, etc...). Many people tend to use the place in groups, and they mood of the people are mostly cheery and stress free. People are very civil to one another there and I believe there is an element of local pride there.
