YOUTH CANOEING & FAMILY WALKS,
Hobler Park is owned and managed by Montgomery Township for passive recreation. It offers a wonderful, flat walking surface with good views of the Princeton Ridge, Gallup Farm and historic Blawenburg. The park consists of large expanses of open fields in various stages of succession. Fields are mowed periodically to halt the successional process and keep them from turning into forest. The park is home to Northern harriers, American kestrels and many species of songbirds. Volunteers from the towns's open space committee and other groups are working there to improve the park.
