    Brighton Park is situated on what is claimed to be the most desirable plot of land in Atlantic…read moreCity. This plot of land is where the founder of Atlantic City, Jeremiah Leeds, built his family settlement. Along with the significance of this plot of land it is surrounded by some great historic spots as well. You have the historic Claridge Hotel capping the park on the city end and the boardwalk capping it on the beach end. Right off the boardwalk you will find the park's amphitheater. This park also has gate? I am assuming that is what that is. This has the name of the part and is kind of a window that could serve for some amazing pictures. The park also has the Atlantic City Walk of Fame. I had no idea that they had something like this so I had to do a bit a research. The Walk of Fame is for artists that have performed in Atlantic City as well as made an impact on the music industry. The event is presented by The National Rhythm & Blues Music Society, which I also did not know was a thing. A nice spot to take a rest or maybe east some food that you grabbed on the boardwalk. But do keep your guard up. There are some unsavory characters about. Maybe not a problem when there are loads of tourist about, but when the tourists dwindle it could be a problem.

    Brighton Park looked peaceful from the boardwalk. The fountain caught my eye, and I thought it…read moremight be a nice place to escape the sun for a few minutes. But the moment I stepped in, something smelled off, perhaps old trash left too long in the heat. The fountain water, which looked so nice from afar, was cloudy and unclean up close. There were flattened cardboard boxes and sleeping bags scattered across the ground, like someone had spent the night there. On my way out, I noticed something worse...used needles near the path. Safe to say, I won't be coming back.

    Cape May County Park North (aka Cameron Wildlife Sanctuary) is apparently a hot secret, because…read moreonly one other car was in the parking lot when I was there on a weekday in the summer. This is a BEAUTIFUL park / wildlife refuge. Trails wind everywhere through the woods, to hammock clearings, scenic spots with benches to sit, a few ponds stocked with ripe lilly pads, picnic areas, a park office, etc. This park is extremely well maintained, with no litter anywhere. Yes, DOGS ARE ALLOWED here. Despite contrary info I got from calling the parks office, there are signs stating the rules for dogs to visit the property, dog waste stations with bags, etc. Well behaved, leashed dogs, are permitted. This is a wildlife sanctuary, so it is lucky they have recently chosen to allow this. It's less than a 10 minute walk to the first pond, and that alone is worth the trip. There are little islands in the pond, with benches on them. Really enchanting. The history of this property is that in the late 19th C, sand was mined here to make cement for Ocean City, as well as to make South Jersey Glass. The Great Depression ended production here, and the landowners filled the sand quarries with water, and stocked them for their own leisure fishing. The property was willed to the county in 1988 to be made into a park. In the summer, you MUST wear bug repellent. Even with repellent, I was covered with mosquitoes if I stopped walking for a few seconds. So just beware and be prepared. While picnicking would be serene here, it is probably best to do it in the months when mosquitoes aren't around. Also, gate locks at 4pm sharp!
