Located in the heart of Ocean City, New Jersey, The Yard delivers an engaging outdoor adventure perfect for families and thrill-seekers alike. This unique recreation spot is centered around the Sky Net, an elevated netted course that hovers high above the ground, designed to challenge and entertain participants aged 3 and up. With its distinctive blend of aerial fun and ground-level activities, The Yard stands out as a special hub for outdoor family fun in the bustling shoreline town.
Ocean City is famed for its iconic boardwalk and beaches, but The Yard adds a fresh dimension to its outdoor appeal. The Sky Net offers a rare chance to climb, balance, and explore a netted ship structure suspended several feet above the ground, offering memorable thrills for children and adults in good physical condition. Safety is clearly prioritized: participants must wear closed-toed shoes, and younger children (ages 3-4) require adult supervision while navigating the net course.
Those less inclined to take to the heights can enjoy the vibrant ground-level zone "Under The Net," perfect for children ages 1-17. Here, families can relax while kids engage with thoughtfully curated play areas, including water tables, slides, and magnetic boards, along with classic yard games. This combination ensures that visitors of all ages can share in the experience, whether scaling the nets or enjoying more traditional play.
Adding to the fun, The Yard hosts Ocean City's only Full Swing Golf & Sports Simulator, available as an optional add-on, letting patrons test their swing with advanced sports simulation technology. Whether a beginner golfer or sports fan, this feature complements the active, outdoor spirit of The Yard.
