	Will there be a place for visitors to park their cars?	Yes, a small parking area will be established from Carson Road at the south-east corner of the cornfield closest to Carter Road (see map).
	During what hours will the park be open?	The park is open to visitors from 7:00 am until 9:00 pm, or later if they are in attendance at an organized activity approved by the Superintendent of Recreation.
	What is a passive recreation park?	The Carson Road Woods is designated a "passive recreation park." A passive recreation park is a park for hiking and walking. It is a park that does not have facilities for "active" recreation like tennis or soccer fields.
	What activities are prohibited?	As a passive recreation park, the following activities are not permitted: Hunting, Camping, Making Fires, Driving any type of Motor Vehicle, and Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages.
	Are there walking trails?	Yes, there are unpaved farm roads around the fields and orchards, which are shown on the map page. There are also deer paths through parts of the woods. Trails have not yet been marked, but this is planned for 2003, after the Washington Crossing Audubon society completes its survey of the Park's wildlife.
	Will agriculture continue on the property?	Yes. Part of the funding for the land parcel came from a state agency interested in preserving agricultural land in New Jersey. About 30 acres will continue to be farmed (the far left hand field on the map) and additional land may be rented to local growers as well.
