8LAKEWOOD, N.J. – Children raced down bright blue slides and soared across the dual zipline as Ocean County officials unveiled the new “Slide City” playground at Ocean County Park.

With a ribbon cutting earlier this month, county commissioners and local leaders opened the reimagined playground, designed to offer recreation for visitors of all ages.

The project adds fresh energy to one of Ocean County’s most visited parks, blending classic play equipment with inclusive, modern features.

Commissioner Robert S. Arace called the new playground a tribute to generations of families who’ve made memories at the Lakewood park, saying the upgrades will ensure it continues to serve the community for years to come.
