Welcome!

The Borough of Seaside Park, located on the Barnegat Barrier Island in Ocean County, New Jersey, was incorporated in 1898. Seaside Park is a small town of only 0.77 square miles with a year-round population of just over 2,200 residents. With almost two miles of shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean, the borough’s main industry is summer tourism. Seaside Park is bordered on the north by the Borough of Seaside Heights and its amusement arcades, rides and boardwalk. To the south is South Seaside Park, which is an unincorporated section of Berkeley Township, and Island Beach State Park.

Seaside Park is located across the Barnegat Bay from Toms River, the county seat of Ocean County. It is easily reached by Route 37 from the west (Garden State Parkway exit 82 or Route 70 to Route 37 east) or Route 35 from the north (Garden State Parkway exit 98, Route 34 east to Route 35 south).

(12/P51) TRENTON – Due to ongoing concerns about below normal precipitation, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin today encouraged residents across New Jersey to take steps to conserve water, both inside the home and outside.

While recent rainfall has helped ease this year’s precipitation deficits somewhat, the effects of an unusually dry winter and spring are starting to be felt across the state.

“Overall our major water supplies, including reservoirs and deep aquifers, remain in good shape,” Commissioner Martin said. “But after too much precipitation last year, we’ve now swung in the opposite direction, with months of below normal precipitation. Most concerning is that our stream levels and shallow groundwater supplies are severely stressed. Our goal is to begin moderating demand by asking residents to voluntarily conserve water before peak summer use begins.”

Seaside Park Beautification Committee
Brick Paver Project Update

As we move into spring and early summer, it is our pleasure to report that the Beautification Committee has submitted the first order of the engraved pavers. Our first order included over 90 bricks purchased by our residents, our community clubs, and summer visitors. We are pleased to announce we still have spaces available for purchase. Our next order will be placed the week of June 30th. Pavers are still available in both 4×8 and 8×8 sizes. The order forms are available on this website or you can contact Denise Koury at runnerkoury@aol.com or Bonnie Matthies at bbmat@optonline.net and a form can be emailed to you with all the information.

It was our intention to begin laying the bricks prior to the Memorial Day weekend, however, it is now not anticipated to be delivered to the Borough prior to the holiday.

We thank everyone for their support and patience in creating a meeting place our residents and visitors will enjoy. We look forward to hearing from those of you who still wish to purchase your permanent part of Seaside Park history.
