History edit

The Horse Park of New Jersey was conceived by equestrian enthusiasts concerned about the dwindling amount of land dedicated to their interests and activities. The Horse Park opened in 1987 on land initially purchased by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection with Green Acres funds and centrally located in Monmouth County in the area's equine-oriented countryside, based on the input of the state's Equine Advisory Board.[2][3]

The park currently has:

  • 276 stalls in permanent buildings

  • Dressage warm-up ring
