About the Venue

Cattus Island County Park in Toms River was included in Ocean County's list of playgrounds being made more inclusive for children of all abilities, with the county noting it was under construction at the time of the official 2025 announcement. Because the county presented it as part of an active upgrade program rather than a closure notice, it remains a strong candidate for families tracking newer accessible public play options in Toms River. Still, the exact finished feature set and current completion level were not clearly detailed in the sources reviewed.
