I go here a lot. It is a little piece of heaven amidst the hustle and bustle of Hwy 1 and Ryders Lane. Nice place for outdoor weddings since it is right on Farrington Lake.

It is soo peaceful and tranquil here most times. It is nice to just have a walk with your significant other or friends. I like being able to roam freely and not have anyone bother me. I want here to take pictures for my sister's graduation. I like this place a lot.

The Rutgers Gardens are beautiful. They are kept so nicely and have a variety of flowers. They also have a place to get married by reservation. I am a Wedding Officiant and it is a perfect spot.
