Jenkinson's South, Inc., the company behind the Jenkinson's Boardwalk attractions in Point Pleasant Beach, has filed a site plan for a "change of use" at Ocean Avenue and the Boardwalk. The county records cover about 11,350 square feet of retail and commercial space on a site of roughly 3.8 acres.
A change of use means an existing building or space would be used for a different purpose. It does not necessarily mean new construction. The records do not say what the space is now or what it will become.
No news coverage, borough meeting agenda, or approval decision about this filing was found online. Jenkinson's website describes a boardwalk complex with an aquarium, amusement rides, arcades, mini golf and restaurants. Beyond that, the explanation rests on the county facts alone.
What it could mean nearby
- The site is in the busy boardwalk area, so any change in visitor numbers could affect parking and traffic on Ocean Avenue. The records do not give details.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated May 7, 2025. No borough approval or denial was found. A site plan like this usually goes to the borough's land use board for review and a public hearing, and construction permits follow after approval.
