Director of Economic Development. To elaborate, Mount Laurel recognizes the tremendous importance of parks and recreation facilities to the community. Tomczyk says they truly value their Parks and Recreation Program and always work to preserve any type of land that they can. Laurel Acres Park is a popular, dog-friendly hike spot and the ideal place to spend a lazy summer evening or a brisk winter’s day. It’s an award- winning park offering a range of experiences for the community, including a Veterans Memorial, pavilions, grills, an exercise training center, a hill used for concerts and sledding, multiple soccer fields, an indoor baseball field for rainy afternoon games, and three outdoor playgrounds perfect for kids aged 2-10. “We’ve upgraded our playground equipment to be ADA-compliant,” says Tomczyk. “We wanted the space to be accessible and inclusive, so that everyone could enjoy it.” Open from sunrise to sunset, licensed visitors can also fish the Laurel Acres pond,
