Summer Races
Monday Night Road Races led by Roger Perham have become an Asbury Grove tradition. There are races for all ages and participants range from toddlers to 80+ year olds, with the length of the race suitable for the age.
Races are held on Mondays and begin at 6:00 pm. There is a one-time yearly fee of $1 per participant. Ribbons are given. There are also 2-3 longer races and a duathlon on Saturdays during the summer.
The results are printed in the Grove "Pine Echoes" newsletter weekly.

The Asbury Grove playground is a favorite spot for children and families to gather, featuring swings, slides, seesaws, and other classic play equipment. Whether for an afternoon of play or a quick stop during a walk through the Grove, the playground offers safe, timeless fun for all ages.
Outdoor Facilities
We have a ball field with a built-in grilling area as well as tennis and basketball courts under the shady pines.
