Registration, Reservations & Fees
Registration Information
We require registration for our programs and reservations for our exclusive use areas.
Registration for Programs
The staff of the Atlantic County Division of Parks and Recreation offers environmental and recreational programs to the general public and interested groups. Most programs are held at the Estell Manor Park located on Route 50, four miles south of Mays Landing, unless otherwise noted.
Registration may be necessary and can be taken over the phone or online. Call (609) 625-1897 between 8am-4pm for more information. We are open seven days a week.
If a program fills, a waiting list is maintained so that any cancellations may be filled. Please, if you cannot make it to a program for which you've registered, call us to let us know. Your call will enable us to fill your spot with others from the waiting list.
