To the Editor:

A new pavilion in Veterans Park has been a topic of discussion in Beach Haven for years. On June 8, the Beach Haven Council voted unanimously to approve the design, location and construction of a new pavilion, a project our town should be very excited about.

This idea grew legs as a direct result of what residents told us they wanted. In 2023, the Beach Haven Parks & Recreation Committee surveyed more than 2,000 residents and visitors.
