Shark River Park, the Monmouth County Park System's first park, . Is it true That it's possible to find Megs and bigger teeth than say Big Brook in New Jersey? They are based on others experience combined with my own. The Shark River, which flows near the pond, is stocked seasonally with trout. The initial park land was established in 1961 with a purchase of 946 acres (383 ha) of land used for construction staging during the building of the Garden State Parkway, becoming Monmouth County's first county owned park.
