Asbury Splash Park — Attraction in Asbury Park

I took my kids last year almost everyday and it was great and so much fun for them. I went yesterday for the first time this summer and I was in awe at the condition of this place. It has deteriorated exponentially. The water smells horrible, I'm almost horrified at the thought that the water the gets recycled through the park has all sorts of feces and urine. I couldn't stand the smell of the water! To go as far as to imagine that the water would get ingested by all those people (it does get dumped on their head and some, even microscopical, amounts get ingested) eww I'm so grossed out. I stood by the drain for a few minutes and watched foamy disgusting water go down the drain, while everyone is splashing around in it, some even laying in it, I could only focus on keeping my kids away from the foamy spit like particles that would collect on the corners of the drain. The bathrooms are grotesque! I'm throwing up in my mouth explaining this right now. I didn't stay long, I took my kids, brought them home and showered them immediately. I will not be going there again unless I know for sure that the water is clean. This place needs some major renovations. I will be reaching out to the health department to check them out for sure. This place is disgusting. I don't know what happened from just a year ago. It was my go to spot for the kids. I'll be looking for...

This place has a perfect location and it really is fun for kids. However, the owners or management company must be inconsiderate, lax, and lazy. This is a popular splash park with no risk of losing business. It wouldn't be hard to make sure the facilities were updated and well maintained. Small things matter when you are encouraging customers to have a good time with their children. Unfortunately the bathrooms are filthy - when we visited the "showers" had curtains that were dark with mold and grime. Why have showers if you keep them in that state? The shaded areas are minimal, so families have to crowd beneath them or scramble for one of the few umbrellas that are there. How difficult would it be to put up some structured shading, or provide an adequate amount of umbrellas? There were staff members cleaning up while we visited, but they pretty much made a minimal effort. It really is a shame - whoever runs this place lacks the foresight to dedicate thought and energy toward maintaining a pristine splash park on a popular boardwalk. They'll never lose customers because kids are easy to please and it's right on the beach, but this place could be so...

I saw this online and decided to take my 5 year old Granddaughter. She loved it. We got there at 10:30 am on a Sunday and by 2pm I was making her leave and she didn’t want to. So I want to let you know some things I didn’t know to make your experience great. You are issued a wristband upon entry so you can come in and out as you please. You ARE allowed to bring in food and beverages from home or purchase something on the boardwalk and bring it in. No glass or alcohol obviously. They have plenty of lounge chairs, and seating with umbrellas. Kids can bring in small plastic toys, buckets,etc. they do have a small picnic area behind the bathrooms. They do have a shower in the ladies room and 2 changing booths and toilets. My only suggestion is to either have a fan or AC in the bathrooms. I will definitely take her back. BTW I saw Groupon has discount tickets. I...
