New Jersey state parks are free this weekend and all summer, so if you want to go to the beach
for free, you won't have to travel
all the way to Atlantic City or Wildwood.
Island Beach State Park will
be completely free all summer, as well as the more than 50 of the rest of the
state parks, forests, and recreation areas.
Those who already purchased a
state park pass for this year will receive a refund. Gov. Phil Murphy and DEP
Commissioner Shawn LaTourette say the fee waivers are in place to promote
tourism across the state.
The free access to state
parks is available for everyone, even out of state visitors.
Lifeguards will go on duty
starting Saturday at 10 a.m. at Island Beach State Park. It’s the only state
park with ocean front beaches and swimming.
If you're still looking for a summer job, state
parks are looking for lifeguards starting
at $18.50 an hour at Island Beach State Park.
