Lakewood is a town in Ocean County on the southeast coast of New Jersey. As of the 2010 census, the population was 92,843. This charming city ranks as the 7th-most-populous municipality in New Jersey. In the early 1900s, Lakewood was a popular resort for residents from nearby New York City - not just in summer, but winter, too, because of a "pocket" of climate that was believed to be 3 to 5 degrees warmer than New York. The Rockefeller family had an estate in Lakewood, which has been turned into Ocean County Park, a 323-acre recreational park. Ocean County Park includes a swimming lake and beach, hiking trails, tennis courts, sports fields, playgrounds and a driving range. During the winter, the estate is used for cross-country skiing. The home on the property was torn down in 1966 and the carriage house is used for the Ocean County Police Academy and the Ocean County Fire Marshals Office. Other attractions in Lakewood includes the Sister Mary Grace Burns Arboretum, located on the campus of Georgian Court University. The arboretum was once the landscaped park of the winter home of George Jay Gould, the millionaire son of railroad tycoon, Jay Gould. Today, the arboretum includes exotic species, as well as native plants and trees of New Jersey, including very large, old oaks and Pitch Pines. There is a Formal Garden, Founders' Grove, a Sunken Garden that features a 17th century marble fountain from southern France, a Japanese Garden, and an Italian Garden. The Italian Garden features a Fountain of Apollo, a wrought-iron eagle statue purchased from the Paris Exposition of 1900, life-size statues of Greek gods and goddesses, and much more.
