Veterans Park: Enjoying Outdoor Spaces

On Jul 25, 2025

Summer days at Veterans Park in Monroe Township – always idyllic – have gotten even better. The sprawling property, which includes athletic fields, a playground, cricket patch, pavilion, and free spray park for children, was enhanced with a new restroom and storage facility last year to better serve citizens and events. 

Located at 61 Avenue K near Old Forge Road, Veterans Park underwent an upgrade in the offseason to better accommodate the growth in Monroe Township’s population over the last two-and-a-half decades. Scozzari Builders equipped the bathroom area with an administrative booth to accommodate events at the park. 

The $1-million project, partially funded by a $161,000 grant from the Middlesex County Housing and Community Development Program, measures 2,000 square feet and was designed by Michael V. Testa Architect to match the old Monroe Township aesthetic. Before the building was erected, there were no public facilities or storage for residents to use while enjoying the park, which now also includes volleyball courts made possible by a $75,000 Local Recreation Improvement Grant from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs.

During construction, Scozzari Builders employed 25 workers, and the project added three full-time employees to the Veteran’s Park staff. Overall, this addition will enhance what is already a popular destination for locals and tourists looking to engage in activities or simply connect with nature and unwind amidst the picturesque surroundings.
