At a ribbon cutting ceremony on
Thursday, October, 11, 2018, Somerset County Park Commissioners and staff, members
of the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders, and Warren Township
officials celebrated the opening of two pavilions at East County Park on
Reinman Road in the township.
East County Park is bordered by Dubois, Reinman and Old
Stirling Roads and was officially opened to the public in September of 2014.
The 150-acre park features an 8-foot-wide stone multi-use trail approximately one
half mile long, two large dog and one small dog leash-free areas, three ponds,
and two pavilions.
The park was developed in partnership with the Board of Chosen
Freeholders, the Park Commission, and the Warren Township Committee.
Future plans include the installation of picnic tables in the
pavilions and the ability to reserve the larger of the pavilions for group events.
“We are pleased to have been able to provide new recreation
opportunities to County residents,” commented Interim Park Commission Secretary-Director
Geoff Soriano. “The leash-free dog areas and the pavilions are welcome additions
to the park, providing patrons with additional activities accompanied by beautiful
views.”
“This
is another great example of a successful county-municipal partnership,” said
Freeholder Director Patrick Scaglione.
“East
County Park provides a much-needed recreational boost to the eastern portion of
Somerset County,” said Freeholder Mark Caliguire, parks liaison.
