Barnegat's Cloverdale Park Center, Historical Tavern Site Reopen

BARNEGAT, NJ — Two facilities will reopen this week in Barnegat: the Cloverdale Farm County Park Visitor Center and the Cedar Bridge Tavern County Historical Site.

Ocean County reopened its Parks and Recreation Nature and Visitor Centers on Thursday — the next step as the county gradually reopens its parks and facilities.

The Cloverdale Farm County Park Visitor Center (34 Cloverdale Rd.) will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.

The Cedar Bridge Tavern site on Cedar Bridge Road is open to visitors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. The landmark, which predates the Revolutionary War, reopened last year as a historical showpiece after years of restoration.
