“Couples, ages 18 years and up, are invited to go out on a date in a new and exciting way – on horseback!” said Freeholder Daniel P. Sullivan, liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. “You’ll visit Lake Surprise and meander through woods and fields to discover the wealth of wildlife active at dusk in the picturesque Watchung Reservation.”
Participants must arrive by 3:45 p.m. to sign in. The ride, approximately one hour, will leave at 4:00 p.m. After the ride, couples may want to head over to Mosaico Restaurant for a Northern Italian dinner since each couple will receive a $20 gift certificate, courtesy of Mosaico.
No riding experience is necessary; the ride will involve only a leisurely walk.
