Description:
The park, a beautiful 17-acre tract, includes woodlands, forest glades, and open park land. The wide expanses of lawn provide a magnificent setting for a grand display of specimen trees and shrubs, an arboretum with such a great variety of domestic and foreign species that it truly sets Marquand Park apart. Many of the 200 species are tagged and mapped for visitors' convenience . Eleven of the trees located here are the largest of their kind in the state of New Jersey.
Most of the walks are paved, and all are suitable for wheelchair use. The arboretum, playground, picnic area, and ball field make Marquand a rewarding destination for visitors of all ages and interests. A map near the parking lot shows the location of tree specimens throughout the park.
