Open Space: Flagg Way Park

It has recently come to the attention of the HNJJ crew that a former Hillsborough Township Committeeman who is a current member of the Open Space Advisory Committee is apparently completely unaware of all the open space that is accessible to residents. In the spirit of helping everyone find these areas, including the aforementioned person, we will be presenting information about some of these preserved properties.
According to the township's Parks Directory, Flagg Way Park is two acres containing a playground and a tennis court. A macadam path with a sign reading Flagg Way Field leads to a baseball field. The baseball field behind the Woods Road Firehouse is visible through a narrow wooded area next to the Flagg Way baseball field.

Open Space: Singley Park

It has recently come to the attention of the HNJJ crew that a former Hillsborough Township Committeeman who is a current member of the Open Space Advisory Committee is apparently completely unaware of all the open space that is accessible to residents. In the spirit of helping everyone find these areas, including the aforementioned person, we will be presenting information about some of these preserved properties.
Mark E. Singley Park, 14-acres located at 425 Woodfern Road next to Woodfern Elementary School, contains softball fields, soccer fields, rest rooms, and a picnic area. There is a macadam walking path and wonderful views across the farm fields to the nearby mountains. Next to the stone parking lot, stop for a moment's reflection at the September 11, 2001 Memorial.
