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 is necessary and may be taken over the phone if the program does not require a fee. Call (609) 625-1897 between 8-4 on weekdays and 10-4 on weekends. All programs require advanced registration by all participants. 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. For programs requiring a fee, please use the form at the end of this page. All fees must be paid by check or money order payable to "Treasurer, Atlantic County", unless noted.
