521 Route 520, Marlboro
732-842-4000

The original 379 acres of land that established Big Brook Park was formerly
used as farmland for patients at the Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital. The
Park System purchased the property from the state in 1997 and in 2010
purchased an additional 36 acres, bringing the park to a total of 415 acres.

Named for Big Brook, which drains into the Swimming River Reservoir,
the park contains forest made up of young wetland and maturing
American beech, white oak, tulip poplar and hickory trees. Perhaps the
park is better known for its rolling fields; made up of grasses, goldenrod
and other perennials that provide a contiguous field habitat for
butterflies, birds and other wildlife.

Once home to Camp Arrowhead through a leasing agreement, the


YMCA recently closed the camp, allowing the Park System control of
the entire site once again. Buildings and facilities have undergone
improvements so the Park System may host a wide variety of programs
at the site, many of which are listed in this Guide.
