Discover Eatontown

Eatontown combines insights into local history with parkland around Wampum Lake and a fully indoor mini golf experience. This gives you a range of different activities to choose from as you plan your vacation: you can explore exhibits of objects from Eatontown’s past, make time for the park, or try indoor glow-in-the-dark mini golf. You can also choose a vacation rental in Eatontown based on which of these interests you want to shape your stay.

Local History at the Eatontown Historical Museum

The Eatontown Historical Museum displays furnished rooms, artifacts, and agricultural equipment. The artifacts were donated by Eatontown residents, and the equipment comes from early farms in Eatontown.

Open and Wooded Areas at Wampum Lake

Wampum Memorial Park covers 12.5 acres of open and wooded areas surrounding Wampum Lake. If you enjoy spending time in a park setting while traveling, this offers a different focus from a museum visit or an indoor activity.

Wolcott Park also offers a different way to spend time outdoors: residents and nonresidents can reserve the pavilion for picnics. This is a useful distinction if you’d like to include a picnic in your day. The reservation option is explicitly not limited to Eatontown residents. When choosing your accommodations, you can therefore consider whether a picnic in the park is among the experiences that interest you in Eatontown, or whether culture and indoor activities are more of a priority.

Indoor Mini Golf as a Distinct Activity

Monster Mini Golf Eatontown offers indoor glow-in-the-dark mini golf. The entire 18-hole course is located in an air-conditioned indoor space. If you’re considering both a park visit and an indoor activity for your trip, you can plan for these different experiences separately.

A Historic Memorial

A ceremony to unveil a historic memorial was scheduled for Saturday, June 18, 2022, at 11 a.m. at Wampum Park in the Borough of Eatontown. The memorial commemorated the only documented lynching in the state of New Jersey. The planned ceremony was organized by the Borough of Eatontown, the Community Remembrance Project of the Equal Justice Initiative, and the New Jersey Social Justice Remembrance Coalition. The specific date is in the past; as a historical context, it shows that, alongside the museum and parkland, a remembrance initiative is also connected to Eatontown.
