Pricing Snapshot
Matthews McKinley Park in Lakewood was listed by Ocean County as one of the playgrounds upgraded to be more inclusive for children of all abilities. For most families, it reads as a practical local playground choice rather than a major regional destination. Official confirmation exists for the upgrade, but the specific mobility, sensory, and amenity details available publicly are still sparse.
