At a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, October, 11, 2018, Somerset County Park Commissioners and staff, members of the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders, and Warren Township officials celebrated the opening of two pavilions at East County Park on Reinman Road in the township.
East County Park is bordered by Dubois, Reinman and Old Stirling Roads and was officially opened to the public in September of 2014. The 150-acre park features an 8-foot-wide stone multi-use trail approximately one half mile long, two large dog and one small dog leash-free areas, three ponds, and two pavilions.
The park was developed in partnership with the Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Park Commission, and the Warren Township Committee.

Future plans include the installation of picnic tables in the pavilions and the ability to reserve the larger of the pavilions for group events.
“We are pleased to have been able to provide new recreation opportunities to County residents,” commented Interim Park Commission Secretary-Director Geoff Soriano. “The leash-free dog areas and the pavilions are welcome additions to the park, providing patrons with additional activities accompanied by beautiful views.”
