I grew up just down the road from this place and was mountain biking there before I knew it was mountainbiking.
This place gets a bad rap, sure there are horses and horse crap & yes it is sandy, VERY sandy, but believe me, there are some GEMS hidden away. The upper part of the park is hardpack with some super fun drops by the sandpit (you'll know it when you see it) Toward the center of the park is tight singletrack which, unfortunatly is accessed by sand (riding in sand is actually a great training tool).
The lower part by the golf course and river is hard packed moist soil with a few stunts built, including a 4X8 down with a very low branch, quick right turn (or swim in the river) then steep rooty climb.
The highest point has what I call "Squirrel Drop" which has some size to it and a deep sandy landing that always reminds me of landing in powder on a snowboard.
Stay on the upper to middel parts if it's wet cause the sand packs down and more of the park links together, keep out of the lower parts due to severe mud.
All in all it's a tough (& fun) network to learn and ride, but hey, pressure makes diamonds.
I now live in North Jersey but frequently go down there to visit family.
If anyone ever wants to check it out let me know, I even have access to a pool nearby for a post ride soak.
I don't have any pic's but if there's interest, I'll definitly get some shots.
