We are so excited to officially welcome you to "A Place and A Park," a site dedicated to helping you discover the small towns, unique places, hidden gems, and fun outdoor attractions all around New Jersey and beyond. Each featured location offers not just a place to visit, but an experience to remember.
Have you ever wanted to plan the perfect day trip, one that combines the charm of exploring a unique town with the fun of an outdoor adventure? We believe the best trips seamlessly blend activities like shopping and dining with opportunities for hiking and enjoying nature. That’s the exact idea that inspired this project.
Our mission is simple: to inspire exploration. Whether you have kids or not, if you love nature and the outdoors, this series is for you. Each post will provide fun tourism information, the best times of year to visit, and recommendations for dining and shopping. The highlight, however, will always be on outdoor activities, encouraging you to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.
We can't wait to showcase amazing destinations all across the state. A few of the places you'll see featured soon include:
- Lambertville
- Barnegat Light
- Clinton
- Cape May
- Red Bank
- Collingswood
- And many more!
A Little Heads-Up: We're in Beta!
Think of this as our grand opening, but we're still stocking the shelves! You’ll find our first set of curated destinations ready for you to explore, but please consider the site to be in "beta." This just means we're actively working on it every day, adding new trips, and polishing up the experience. New posts will be published multiple times a month, each one offering fresh insights and inspiration.
Thank you for joining us on this journey from the very beginning. We invite you to explore, and if you have a special place that you think we should share, please let us know by emailing jeff@getoutsidenj.com.
Happy exploring!
