Subscribe to Somerset County Park Commission RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds to have information delivered directly to your desktop! RSS is an XML-based format for sharing frequently updated content published by a website. RSS feeds allow you to view updated information without having to logon to the Park Commission website and search for the updates.  You can view information such as special event announcements, press releases, program registrations, volunteer opportunities, and photos.  In addition to the feeds listed here, look for the small red feed icons across the site, or the orange auto-discovery icon in your browser bar, to subscribe to a number of other feeds from www.somersetcountyparks.org.

How a feed differs from a website:
A feed can have the same content as a webpage, but it's often formatted differently. When you subscribe, Internet Explorer automatically checks the website and downloads new content so you can see what is new since you last visited the feed.  There is no charge; feeds are free!

How to view your feeds:
You can view your feeds in the Favorites section when any website is open on your computer.  Simply click on the Feeds button, located next to the Favorites button.

How to subscribe to our feeds:

1. Go to the webpage that has the feed to which you want to subscribe.
2.  Click the Feeds button to discover feeds on the webpage. Click one the particular feed(s) to select those of interest (if more than one is available).
