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).

The Borough of Seaside Park submitted a Boardwalk Preservation Fund application for reconstruction of the boardwalk, which was not selected for award. The Borough received the following response from the Assistant Division Director of the Division of Disaster Recovery and Mitigation to explain the methodology used to determine eligibility for award:

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Boardwalk Preservation Fund. As you can expect, this funding opportunity was very competitive.  DCA’s Division of Disaster Recovery and Mitigation (DRM) received 33 proposals with requests for funding well beyond the $100 million dollars allocated to the Boardwalk Preservation Fund. Proposals were reviewed for eligibility and then ranked based on the applicants Municipal Revitalization Index (MRI), the State’s official measure and ranking of municipal distress. Awards were made to the jurisdictions beginning with lowest MRI scores using the following allocation methodology until funds were exhausted.  Projects that requested over $40 million received awards of $20 million, while projects with requests under $40 million received 30% of their request except for smaller projects with funding requests below $1.5 million, which received 100% of their request.  With this methodology, we were able to award funding to 18 projects.

PURPOSE: The Borough of Seaside Park is seeking funding through the State of NJ Green Acres Program for improvements to the softball field at 13th Avenue Park located at 13th and 14th Avenues and Barnegat Avenue in the Borough of Seaside Park, Ocean County, NJ.

PROJECT SCOPE: The Borough proposes to improve the existing softball field facilities within the park. Specifically, the proposed project involves infield improvements (new softball bases, batter’s box and infield clay mix), outfield improvements (drainage improvements, irrigation, topsoil, fertilizer and seed), the removal and replacement of the existing dugouts, bleachers, concrete sidewalk, concrete slabs, and install concrete retaining walls (as required) and the removal and replacement of the existing softball field fencing and gates. A major goal of the park improvements is to address the existing stormwater ponding by removing and re-grading the entire limits of the softball field and installing perforated pipe below the grass area to reduce the poor drainage of the field. A concept plan showing the proposed changes, a preliminary cost estimate, and an environmental impact assessment for the project can be found at: www.seasideparknj.org

PUBLIC HEARING INFORMATION: The public is encouraged to attend a public hearing to learn more about the proposal and to ask questions or provide comments on the proposed plan on February 1, 2024 at 7:00 pm. The meeting will be held in person in the second-floor Council Chambers located at Sixth & Central Avenues, Seaside Park, NJ 08752, as part of the regularly scheduled Council meeting. Written comments on the proposed application may be directed to Karen Kroon, Borough Administrator, kkroon@seasideparknj.org 1701 North Ocean Avenue, Seaside Park, NJ 08752.

Borough of Seaside Park, NJ, September 18, 2023 – Public safety officials in Seaside Park
today announced that the Rave Emergency Alert System is now available to all residents,
replacing the previous Swiftreach Reverse 911 system. Rave Emergency Alert System is a free

The switch to the Rave Emergency Alert System allows residents to receive phone, text, and
email alerts and answer poll questions that will give Seaside Park officials critical information
during emergencies. Individuals who are signed up for alerts will receive reliable information
about them during critical situations, including tailored updates based on their specific needs and
geographic location.

Individuals who were previously signed up for Swiftreach Reverse 911 will be automatically
enrolled in the Rave Emergency Alert System but are encouraged to sign up to the Rave
Emergency Alert System to add additional and updated information to the new platform to
ensure accuracy. Residents and travelers to Seaside Park who were not previously signed up for
Swiftreach Reverse 911 should sign up for free at www.seasideparkpd.com to receive timely and
actionable emergency alerts via email, text, or voice message. They can also identify when and
how they are alerted and communicated with before, during, and after emergencies.

Rave Emergency Alert System strengthens Seaside Park officials’ ability to communicate with
residents when it matters most. The service allows for critical communication with the public
and provides individuals with the information needed to stay safe or take precautions during
hazardous or emergency situations.

Rave Emergency Alert System is trusted by thousands of institutions, including state and local
authorities, businesses, and educational institutions. The Rave Emergency Alert System sends
millions of messages daily during critical situations such as severe weather.
