Splash pads in Asbury Park, New Jersey

Asbury Park's boardwalk splash is the Jersey Shore parent's quick-stop staple. Right between the carousel building and the Wonder Bar, kids run through the ground spray while you grab a coffee from one of the boardwalk spots. Free, no boardwalk admission required, with the Atlantic just steps away. Asbury Park runs spray features Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, weather dependent. Restrooms in the boardwalk pavilions, paid parking lots and meters along Ocean Avenue, and you are walking distance to Convention Hall, the splash park's bigger sibling. Pair with a beach hour and a stop at Frank's Deli for the full Asbury day. A genuine Jersey Shore essential.
