Update: April 11 2025

Precise Construction has continued progress on site preparation to re-grade the areas for the proposed play equipment, swings, and fitness equipment along with areas of the expanded parking lot and bus loop.

Quality Electric has continued the installation of the light pole foundations. The play equipment began taking shape this week, with the installer focusing on the play equipment closest to the expanded parking lot. With so much construction activity, access to the park was modified to ensure the safety of park users.

Access to the park will temporarily be on the west and east ends of the parking lots as currently signed. Access to the restrooms and batting cages will remain as they have, until the parking lot drainage, curbing and walkway improvements get underway. The walking/jogging trail has been temporarily detoured away from the work zones and can be viewed on the trail map. Please keep mindful of construction activity as we strive to keep the park open during the project.

Update: March 14, 2025

Construction for the Meadow Ridge Park Improvement Project is underway! Please use caution when in the parking lot and be aware of your surroundings.

The Meadow Ridge Park Improvement Project will be a significant enhancement to one of our community’s most popular public parks. This project will include:

• Expanded Parking Lot – Increasing the capacity of the existing lot.

• Improved Traffic Flow & Pedestrian Access – Enhancing safety for both vehicle circulation and park visitors.

• Upgraded Drainage Infrastructure – Ensuring better water management and park preservation.

• New Playground & Exercise Equipment – Installing modern play structures and state-of-the-art fitness stations.

  
  

During construction, Meadow Ridge Park will remain open, though the parking lot will experience temporary and partial closures.

The project is funded through a combination of the Borough of Rumson Capital Improvement Fund and a $331,000 grant from the Monmouth County Open Space Grant Program.
