With over 4000 acres of preserved and well maintained land you can enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, canoeing, fishing, ball fields, tennis courts, playgrounds and so much more. With parks from Point Pleasant Beach to Tuckerton you’re sure to find an adventure near you.
The Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation has worked diligently to provide accessibility to our parks. Towards that end, the Ocean County Board of Commissioners has strongly endorsed our goal, and we have been able to provide a park system that encourages our residents with disabilities to come out and enjoy our beautiful facilities!
We have two “beachwheels” available to visitors at our parks. These are comfortable, PVC chairs with wide “balloon” wheels, which enable transportation over sandy surfaces. We will be happy to transport the beachwheels to any park facility in the Ocean County park system with 36-hours notice.
We will accommodate special needs upon request, given at least 36-hours notice in all cases. Most of our program rooms are fully accessible, as are our restroom facilities. Parking areas are also clearly marked at all our parks.

Organizational Summary
For more than 20 years, BoardSafe Docks has designed, engineered, and manufactured waterfront structures that make lakes, rivers, and shorelines accessible to people of all abilities. Accessibility is not an add-on to BoardSafe’s work — it is the core of it. The company specializes in ADA-compliant and adaptive water-access solutions that let people with disabilities, older adults, veterans, and families participate fully in paddling, fishing, rowing, and simply getting close to the water.
BoardSafe’s product line includes adaptive kayak and canoe launches, accessible fishing piers, transfer systems, gangways with compliant slopes, floating docks, and pedestrian bridges — each engineered on the company’s heavy-duty, marine-grade aluminum framing for durability in public and high-traffic settings. In 2025, BoardSafe’s adaptive kayak launch was recognized with an INNOVATEAble award for advancing inclusive outdoor recreation.
BoardSafe partners with municipalities, parks departments, conservation groups, and institutions to bring inclusive water access to public spaces across the country. Every dock, launch and pier is designed and built to meet ADA and safety requirements while standing up to years of public use — the result is durable, welcoming water access that invites everyone to the water’s edge.
