6th Avenue Playground

Locals with little ones know this spot on 6th Avenue is one of the more reliable options in Toms River for the under-10 crowd. The rubberized surface is a real selling point — knees and elbows take a lot less damage here than at older parks with mulch or packed dirt. Kids gravitate toward the climbing structure while parents set up at the picnic tables, and there’s a basketball court plus a big open grass field when everyone needs to burn off extra energy. It’s nothing flashy, but it’s clean, well-kept, and actually does the job.
