"The volume of illegal and potentially dangerous activity at the park has created a health, safety and liability issue that the township cannot allow to continue," said Branchburg Township Administrator Gregory J. Bonin in a letter to the community. (Google Maps)
BRANCHBURG, NJ — Large volumes of people leaving dirty diapers, drinking alcohol, lighting fires, creating makeshift latrines, potentially dangerous swimming, and leaving excessive garbage have created health and safety concerns at Ten Eyck Park. As a result, Branchburg Township was forced to close the park earlier this month.
Over the past few years, Branchburg has seen an uptick in people who are visiting the park, accessing the river and using the area for picnics and swimming. However, what is left behind has become a problem for the community.
