I'm going with Cheesequake Park

No, take the Parkway South.

Back area of the Manasquan river?

No, keep going South.

Then somewhere connected to Barnegat bay?

Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rgrph wrote

Yes. U/haironf1re got the correct answer of Cattus Island County Park about 10mins ago. The photo is of Mosquito Cove which is within the park boundaries and part of Barnegat Bay.

No way Tom’s River should be considered Central Jersey. I live in the heart of central Jersey (somerset county) and it’s not even close. Tom’s River is shore territory.

That said, I originally thought it was Cheesequake Marshlands aka Matawan Creek.

Divide the State in thirds. Where's TR? Right there in Central Jersey. Albeit lower Central Jersey but Central Jersey nonetheless.

Central is between 78 and 195. Aka not Tom’s River.

Tom’s River has zero cultural association with actual central Jersey.

Grew up just outside TR. it absolutely does. Felt the “same” with everything up to about Woodbridge. Start heading south of TR into Lacey and south THEN shit starts getting weird.

ShoreMama t1_j9rlczw wrote

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that as I consider our state to be North Jersey, Central Jersey, South Jersey and the shore.

Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rmw90 wrote

I'll do no such thing lol. TR is Central Jersey and its proximity to the Shore does not change that fact.

Cattus Island?

Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rfg8j wrote

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! That's Mosquito Cove in Cattus Island County Park in Toms River.

Who TF considers TR to be Central Jersey?

I was a bit confused to, because I draw the line to South Jersey around the Monmouth County border.

Where are you from that you don't?

Brachinus t1_j9rrw1b wrote

Brick. North of TR. In South Jersey (or on the Shore), but I've never heard anyone refer to Ocean County as Central Jersey (or vice versa).

icrispyKing t1_j9tj7vf wrote

I'm from Ocean County and I equally hear people her refer to Ocean County as both Central Jersey and South Jersey

ajfili t1_j9tyq56 wrote

Problem is you can’t draw that line by county. Grew up touching TR.

Southern Ocean County I’ve experienced “lawnmower racing” fueled by everyone drinking home made moonshine out of mason jars.

That shit does not happen in the northern half.

There’s someone on this sub that gets triggered if you call ocean county south

Yes! I’d like to thank my youngest brother (he’s out here somewhere on Reddit and won’t tell me his name) he introduced me to this lovely spot. Very beautiful. I recommend checking it out. This was a fun game!

Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9rliz6 wrote

It's a beautiful place indeed. I'm old enough to have spent time there before it became a park and you could still drive all the way out to the bay.

That's my 'hood. I grew up in those woods. Excellent place.

Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9ueuba wrote

So your from the BellCrest neighborhood I assume. I'm from the other side of Fischer Blvd aka the cool side lol.

Robotoxin t1_j9umzz6 wrote

Yeah, you're definitely from a nicer section. Home is home, though

2

Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9uyhef wrote

There's really not much of a difference. My friends and I used to hang out in Bellcrest quite a bit in the late 70's and early 80's and knew quite a lot of folks from that neighborhood.

Robotoxin t1_j9v4mll wrote

It's a shame Bellcrest Plaza is the way it is now. It used to have some good stuff in it - Arcade, pool hall, pet store, pizzaria, etc. Still has potential, but I doubt anything good comes of it

2

Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9vbt70 wrote

That arcade had Pengo, which I loved, and some kick-ass Pinball machines. I miss the old Lane Drugs and McCrory's that used to be there way back when and the Foodtown is gone now as well. I was the Courier for Foodtown at the time when they closed down. It was a great job and I miss it. Now there's a chicken joint, a restaurant called Tardi's which is pretty good, there's a DQ and a gym, and the Burger King is now a Joe's Bagels. Driftwood Deli is still across the street though and still very good. I recommend the number 22.

I instantly recognized this spot! I actually performed a wedding ceremony there last May!

Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9tjw5y wrote

The ashes of my Grandparents and my Uncle have been spread in that cove over the years. I wasn't exactly on board with that but my Nan (Grandmother) loved Cattus because it reminded her of where she grew up in England so, because we couldn't split them up, that's where they are. It's a beautiful place to go visit them.

We went on a 6th grade field trip there. I remember a girl picked something up off the ground to ask me what it was and I had to inform her it was deer poop.

There's no shortage of deer and their poop in Cattus that's for sure.

Central Jersey? Not even close!

Dead_Is_Better OP t1_j9tzaox wrote

Alright, try to follow closely. North Jersey is anything North of the Driscoll Bridge (Raritan River) to the NY State line, while Central Jersey is anything South of the Driscoll Bridge down to Lacey Twnshp (where TR is within), and South Jersey is anything from Lacey Twnshp down to Cape May. These areas run East to West from the Shore to the Delaware Bay/River/PA State line. Everyone who disagrees about this are splitting hairs for the sake of being argumentative (that would be you) and most likely call Pork Roll 'Taylor Ham', drive like idiots, and root for the Eagles.

chaebs t1_j9upmz3 wrote

Nobody was arguing simply repectfully disagreeing,,,,also, yes I say Taylor Ham, I used to drive like an idiot, and hate the Eagles. My part of central Jersey roots for the G-men!

Tom's river is designated as south jersey as its part of ocean county. As someone who lives in upper Monmouth County I do consider Tom's river south jersey.
