Liberty Park, a community staple
Liberty Park has a gazebo, benches, picnic tables and walking trails. Peapack and Gladstone are also home to many horses at farms, as well as the United States Equestrian Team training site. If horses aren’t residents’ thing, residents could join two private clubs: the Essex Fox Hounds, a fox-hunting club and Essex Hunt Club, a winter recreational organization with an ice rink for figure skating and hockey. On the grounds of a former 500-acre estate, with the mansion intact, Natirar Park has miles of scenic trails that wind through woodlands, open fields and along the Raritan River (which conveniently Natirar is Raritan spelled backward). Visitors can become members of The Club at Natirar, a private membership where members can dip in the pool or hit the tennis courts. A resort and spa within the mansion, which was once the home of the King of Morocco, is expected to open in 2024.
