PATRIOT LAKE is an active monument to <strong>the</strong><br />

patriots who were victims of <strong>the</strong> September 11th<br />

tragedy that struck our nation. The lake is<br />

located on <strong>the</strong> Municipal Complex grounds behind <strong>the</strong><br />

Atlantic Co. Library and Imagination Station. It is a<br />

newly-formed four-acre lake and park that offers a<br />

wealth of passive recreational activities. There is a<br />

pedestrian path around <strong>the</strong> lake and a shaded picnic<br />

area. Many benches and large trees have been<br />

sponsored and are in place. The lake is stocked for<br />

fishing, and several landscape projects are complete.<br />

Three memorial gardens (one for each 9/11 attack site)<br />

are in place, as well as a monument to dedicate<br />

PATRIOT LAKE. A beautiful gazebo graces <strong>the</strong> edge of<br />

<strong>the</strong> lake.<br />
