John C. Bartlett, Jr. County Park at Berkeley Island

What a great Ocean County Park! The views of the bay and barrier island are awesome. The park is sourounded by water on 3 sides, making for a great breeze. The spray park is popular with kids and adults alike! Take your family here for a great adventure. And when they have the Beach Ball Blast and Summer Kickoff events the park is even better with food trucks and live music!

Great place to spend the day with your family. Fishing , picnic, great water pad, and playground for the kids.

Spent three beautiful but windy days here training in a grueling kayak instructor certification. It is a beautiful place. Feels remote without being remote. Nice, clean bathroom facilities. Perfect access for kayaks and paddle boards here thanks to the soft sand and a lot of parking. Camped at the nearby Cedar Creek Campground and RV site, nice too.

Nice park with walking trails and scenic views of the bay. Splash pad for kids. Some good places before the park to take the dogs swimming

Great for the little ones , and big ones alike . Small kids park new, with splash park free. Bathroom on site . There is beach access to the bay on all surrounding points. Must enter in designated areas. Bench seating and charcoal grills sprinkled throughout. There is 30' dock that you can crab/fish from , remember though state park. Please have appropriate licenses if required.

Also gazebo fits aprox. 50 people comfortably . It's own large charcoal grill. Off to side built in slate corn hole . Bring your own bags . Just a great day to spend a weekend late morning -evening with family .

Beautiful County Park - Nice maintained play area & splash pad for kids, bathrooms, pavilion, barbeque pits, picnic tables and great views of the bay. Easy parking - no fee.

Great place to spend a day at the bay! Pet friendly, barbecues, picnic tables, fish cleaning stations, playground, horseshoes, corn hole, bocci, splash park and small swimming beach. Great private little coves for crabbing and fishing, which is excellent here. At the entrance Trixie marina rents outboard boats for crabbing and fishing at very reasonable prices.

First time here. Very large and clean restrooms
Big parking lot. Good views of Bay. Playground with several water sprinklers which all the kids love on a hot summer day. Good place to kayak just before paved parking lot.

This place is awesome to go fishing. Recommend to bring tents to make shade cause the heat is intense

What a beautiful day to visit this park again. Last time was back in 2020 and I remembered that it was an awesome park to spend the day.

Perfect little park for a few sunrise/sunset laps. Great fishing and crabbing spot. Perfect picnic areas and clean restrooms. Beautiful views. Beautifully done!

Very nice little park for young and old. Fishing/crabbing pier, concrete walkways, and a water spray park for the little ones.
Great views of the bay and a decent amount of parking.

Free parking beautiful area on the bay for crabbing fishing from winter flounder to summer flounder and Snapper Blues might even catch a drum here crab is always good ice fishing pier cleaning fish stations nice bathrooms and running water in the sprinkler Amusement area during the season of Memorial Day to Labor Day

This place is great to bring the kids, and dogs. The splashpark is free, as well as a small playground. There are places to crab, and fish. Public restrooms, charcoal grills, bocce ball. There is something here for everyone.

September 2022 Edit, I need to get back here when there are swans! Daybreak on the land while listening to 9/17/72 Playing in the Band.

June 2022: Bummed I missed what was probably a stellar sunrise this morning, but it was peaceful here and I think I might return. Thanks.

Beautiful Park for walking around along the Bay, nice for a picnic or sitting in the sun, plenty of room for crabbing also.

Beautiful grounds, and exceptionally clean and well kept. Even the bathrooms were some of the cleanest I've ever used. Playground and splash park for the kids, BBQ pits for cooking, and marble cornhole game, just bring your bean bags. Highly recommended as a nice place to view the bay and relax with friends, family, or even alone.

Excellent park to bring the family to. Great water views, places to walk, picnic area, and playgrounds for kids. Clean bathrooms are a huge plus too (and the reason for 5 stars!) It’s easy to get to from route 9 yet still quiet and relaxing.

Good place to crab, downside is it gets crowded on the weekends and the park is only open until 8 P.M. and from what it sounds like they have no plans to extend their hours this season.

This is my third time coming here, and it's so fun. Very family oriented, mini spray park & playground for the kids, water has alot of crabs in there but it's mostly baby ones that you have to throw back . Amazing scenery of the sailboats and friendly visitors
