“I am proud of the work that the Veterans Memorial Park Committee and the township have done on transforming a once contaminated piece of land into an area of beautiful open space honoring those from Neptune who gave their all to protect our freedom,” said. Township Committeeman Randy Bishop. “The fund-raiser on Feb. 7 will help us to continue to add other amenities and ongoing maintenance to this park making it truly a park owned by the community for those who gave so much for their community and their country.”
