Oscar McClinton Waterfront Park is Located on New Hampshire Avenue in Atlantic City. This park is located on 4 acres in the Northeast section of Atlantic City which emphasizes waterfront themes. It features a large open lawn area surrounded by a colonnade and decorative paved walkways. A central pavilion provides scenic views of the Absecon Inlet and functions as a protected sitting area. This park also includes a children’s play area and a Boardwalk promenade.  East of the park, directly connected, is the Atlantic City Boardwalk, and directly adjacent to the boardwalk behind an existing seawall is the remnants of an eroded and inaccessible beach area.  The project focuses on the boardwalk to beach access and beach revitalization specifically.

McClinton Park Beach will be a public beach, free to the residents and visitors of Atlantic City. The beach will be fully connected to the Inlet Boardwalk, which connects to the primary Atlantic City Boardwalk and Gardner’s Basin. This Inlet section of boardwalk permits bicycle traffic 24/7.  Access to this beach will be easy and an instance of sustainability.
