"In our conversations about how to create an atmosphere in Downtown TR where one can live, work, and play, it has become very evident that the PLAY factor needs the most attention. We have a beautiful river-front park that is under-utilized. Huddy Park Game Night is an attempt to address both those issues ... so two birds, one stone ... rather, two geese, one frisbee, if you know Huddy Park," said Alizar Zorojew, executive director of the Toms River Business Improvement District.
