Greetings to the Asbury Park Community and our loyal Boardwalk visitors
Several weeks ago, due to forecasts for stormy and snowy weather, we conducted a special inspection of the breezeway through the Casino Building (that’s the part that is the extension of the Boardwalk). This inspection noted an area of concern, and, to protect public safety, we closed the outdoor path to Ocean Grove.
We’re in Asbury. Rumors swirled. Specters of the implosion of the entire Casino Building suddenly appeared all over social media. We even noticed a post about the curse of the Morro Castle.
Understandably, our great State Senator Vin Gopal and our representatives Margie Donlan and Luanne Peterpaul expressed their concern over any potential demolition. Mayor Moor and the city council rightly urged us to find a solution.
We did. The breezeway will be repaired and preserved. As soon as the repairs are completed, the outdoor pathway to Ocean Grove will be reopened. Check back for updates.
Please note that there has never been any concern with the main portion of the Casino Building – the Carousel, the vaulted area in the center, and wings on either side. Our incredibly creative team at Wooden Walls will continue to hold their series of imaginative and immersive events in the Carousel.
It’s been a cold and snowy winter. Come out to the Pony, the Wonder Bar, or any of our wonderful restaurants and shops on the Boardwalk. It will warm you up!
