Poricy Park Nature Center

Poricy Park is a regional resource located in Middletown, NJ, offering a diverse range of environmental and cultural education programs to residents throughout New Jersey and the tri-state area. Managed by Middletown Township and supported by the Poricy Park Conservancy, this 250-acre park is one of the largest in Monmouth County, featuring a unique 30-acre section known as the Cotton Tract, which combines seclusion, forest, and marsh habitats to support a wide variety of wildlife.

With a rich history and a commitment to preserving educational, historical, and natural resources, Poricy Park serves as a center for community enjoyment and appreciation of nature and local history. While the origins of the name "Poricy" remain a mystery, the park continues to engage visitors through its environmental programs and partnerships, including its role as the headquarters for the Monmouth County Chapter of the Pajama Program, which provides warm pajamas, books, and toys to needy children.
