The Borough of Avalon has submitted a grant application to the State of New Jersey for a new fitness trail and sidewalk extension at the 8th Street recreation complex. The application requests the funding necessary to begin installing exercise equipment designed for seniors and others with physical restrictions or mobility issues. Valued at $100,000, the project will add benches along the trail and complete a sidewalk on the west side of the complex. This application is similar to the one submitted by Avalon in 2023, which resulted in the addition of tennis courts at the complex.
