Protect Your ParksThe Park System preserves and manages natural and cultural resources on more than 17,000 acres of land in Monmouth County. Protecting water quality, eliminating invasive plant species, and promoting healthy wildlife habitats are just a few objectives. Please help protect the park by leaving flowers, plants, animals, and other features as you found them; adhering to posted park rules; using designated containers for trash, recyclables and pet waste; and keeping your pets leashed. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted.An overabundance of white-tailed deer in and around this park is threatening the health of native plant and animal species. Portions of Turkey Swamp Park may be open for deer hunting during all or some of the State-regulated hunting season. All hunting areas are clearly posted.
