Keansburg Amusement Park is on Beachway, on the Raritan Bayshore. The park's tagline dates it to 1904, and it describes itself as a full-sized historic family park. It combines an amusement area with Runaway Rapids, a water park.

The park lists rides, go-karts, games, arcades, batting cages, a beach and a fishing pier. Runaway Rapids has slides, a Kiddie Lagoon, warming pools, changing rooms and lockers. Food stands include Zeppole's, Glenda's Great Fries, Cotton Candy and the Boardwalk Grill at the Pavilion Bar.

The site shows a thank-you banner for the 2026 season and lists the spring schedule as coming soon, with daily hours posted as an image. Admission and ticket prices are on its ticket pages, not repeated here. Confirm dates and hours with the park before you plan a trip.
