This NJ path is like being in ‘The Wizard Of Oz,’ but with sunflowers

"Like the 'Wizard of Oz' with sunflowers." That's a direct quote from my mother-in-law of how she described the absolute beauty of this particular sunflower field. And you know what? There really isn't any better way to put it.

Up until now, I never even knew this sunflower field existed. It was only by chance while dropping my kids off for one of their summer camps at Dorbrook Recreation Area that I noticed it.

I've always known there was a big field with a walking path around it, but I never knew that field bloomed into beautiful sunflowers. And I've been coming to this park for a good number of years, but at different times of the year.

It just goes to show that you can learn about new things in your own backyard, even if you've been going to a place for a long time. And I couldn't wait to share this special gem, located in Monmouth County, with you.

Here's just a quick peak of some of the beauty this park offers (photos and video below).
