Ocean County officials unveiled a new $975,000 sports-themed playground this month at Patriots County Park in Jackson Township featuring inclusive recreational offerings.

The playground at 485 Bowman Road features seesaws, swings, a climbing soccer ball and a rope tower slide.

The facility also includes a workout area, making it accessible for families of all abilities to engage in active recreation together.

“What we have been doing with these park upgrades is that we have been looking to create an atmosphere for kids of all backgrounds, ages and disabilities to be able to come and have fun together and feel like one unified group of kids in the community,” Ocean County Commissioner Robert S. Arace, Chairman of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation said in a statement.
