| | | | Restaurants | | | | The Borough of Seaside Park, located on the Barnegat Barrier Island in Ocean County, New Jersey, was incorporated in 1898. Seaside Park is a small town of only 0.77 square miles with a year-round population of just over 2,200 residents. With almost two miles of shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean, the borough’s main industry is summer tourism. Seaside Park is bordered on the north by the Borough of Seaside Heights and its amusement arcades, rides and boardwalk. To the south is South Seaside Park, which is an unincorporated section of Berkeley Township, and Island Beach State Park. Seaside Park is located across the Barnegat Bay from Toms River, the County seat of Ocean County. It is easily reached by Route 37 from the west (Garden State Parkway exit 82 or Route 70 to Route 37 east) or Route 35 from the north (Garden State Parkway exit 98, Route 34 east to Route 35 south). The Borough of Seaside Park has a Mayor-Council form of government. The mayor serves a four year term, while six council members serve three year terms, with two council members up for election each year. As Seaside Park is located on a barrier island, there are special considerations: 
Snow
The Borough of Seaside Park has ordinances prohibiting parking on snow covered streets until after the snow plowing operations are finished, and prohibiting the casting of snow into the street. Both of these hinder the efforts of the Department of Public Works in their snow removal duties and create a hazard. For further information, contact DPW at 732-793-5100. Hurricanes and Nor’easters
Seaside Park is susceptible to hurricanes, nor’easters, and very strong winds. Residents and visitors should be prepared for the possibility of evacuation in the event of a hurricane. Property owners are also encouraged to maintain their yards so that garbage cans, patio chairs, etc. do not blow into the street during these storms. Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant
The Borough of Seaside Park is located within a ten mile radius of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant. If you hear a steady siren tone for three minutes, tune your radio to 1160 AM, 1310 AM, 92.7 FM, 94.3 FM, 95.9 FM, or 100.1 FM for official emergency information and instructions from the New Jersey State Police Office of Emergency Management. Fire and First Aid Sirens
Seaside Park is served by a volunteer fire company and a volunteer first aid squad. Residents of the borough who volunteer their time as members of these organizations are notified of an emergency by a pager and by a siren. Please be alert for members responding to the fire house or first aid squad building; yield to personal vehicles with blue lights or hazard lights flashing. | | | | EASTER Good Friday Easter Flower Sale*: Seaside Park Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary at Firehouse, Sixth and Central Avenues
