RED BANK, NEW JERSEY--A Happenin' Town!

by VeronicaG - last update: Sep 20, 2006

Riverview Park, Red Bank

Park with view of the Navesink River
Red Bank has many things going for it, one is the river view from this town park. Each Thursday evening in the summer, free jazz concerts were presented. The concerts drew hundreds of people! A snack bar offered light refreshments, but many families enjoyed dinner from their picnic baskets while the children romped in the grass nearby.

The sunsets from this vantage point were glorious! The river breeze caressed the faces of those in the crowd and the evening gently fell to the music of jazz musicians.

Red Bank owes its name to the red color of the banks along the Navesink River.
First Presbyterian Church

Places of Worship and Contemplation

Red Bank, like any other town, has places of worship. First Presbyterian is a staid reminder that churches are an integral part of the community for many, many people. They provide a foundation for life!
Art in the Park

The Beauty of Art

Art brings pleasure to life, beauty to one's surroundings and provides sustenance to the creative spirit!

 Hmmm, might have to investigate this one. Looks like a lot of interesting spots I would enjoy. Especially all the antiques. Never knew Count Basie was from Red Bank. Glad they're restoring the theater. thanks for some very good tips!
