Jenkinson’s Boardwalk Map: Rides and Shore Landmarks

Map sources checked September 19, 2026
The operator currently links a map PDF dated 2022. It remains useful for the boardwalk layout and services, but its ride labels do not include the current Patriot’s Run coaster. Check the current ride directory and schedule with the map before visiting.
Jenkinson’s Boardwalk layout at a glance
Use the official map to separate the amusement park at 500 Boardwalk from the Pavilion and Aquarium area at 300 Ocean Avenue. The operator publishes different arrival addresses for these parts of the property.
Inside the ride park, Patriot’s Run is a current coaster landmark. The Train identifies the family ride section, while Shark Escape provides a separate midway reference.

These photographs show three recognizable ride park landmarks. They support the operator map and do not define formal themed lands.
Patriot’s Run entrance and track
The Patriot’s Run sign and compact steel track create a clear landmark inside the amusement park. The operator lists this family coaster as now open.
Because the linked map PDF predates the coaster, use the current ride directory for its status and follow on-site signs for the exact queue entrance.
Landmarks: Patriot’s Run sign, silver track and American flag.
Route tip: Use Patriot’s Run as the current ride roster check, then orient from the nearby midway.
Jenkinson’s Train station
The red and black locomotive, station shelter and track make the Train easy to recognize from the boardwalk side of the ride park.
The operator describes the Train as circling the kiddie rides. That makes the station a useful reference for families choosing a compact cluster.
Landmarks: Train station, locomotive and perimeter track.
Route tip: Use the Train station to identify the family ride cluster, then check individual rider rules.
Shark Escape station and ride structure
Shark Escape is a current spinning family coaster with a broad structure that is visible across part of the ride midway.
Confirm the current height rule at the entrance. The operator’s online ride directory provides a planning reference, while the posted sign controls on the day.
Landmarks: Shark Escape station, elevated track and nearby midway.
Route tip: Use the large ride structure to regain your bearings, then return to the map for facilities or the next attraction.
