Jane Magovern's Playground

You are at stop #31 on the Belmar Treasure Trail. This wonderful, modern playground is named for Jane Magovern, one of the community’s most cherished art teachers who taught thousands of children and was also the late wife for former Belmar Mayor Brian Magovern. She had a 40-year career as an art teacher at St. Rose Grammar School and in Belmar’s beloved summer arts and crafts program before she passed away in 2015. The colorful archway that bears her name is adorned with larger-than-life butterflies that greet everyone entering the playground.
