Casino Pier
Casino Pier is an amusement park situated on a pier, in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The pier opened in 1932 under the ownership of Linus R Gilbert, an industrialist. Gilbert acquired the property between Grant and Sherman Avenue extending east from the Boulevard to the Atlantic Ocean and oversaw the construction of the pier under his company, LR Gilbert Construction. The pier formerly extended approximately 300 ft (91 m) into the Atlantic Ocean from the narrow strip of the Barnegat Peninsula, including approximately six blocks within Seaside Heights. In 1937 Linus R. Gilbert expanded the business further with the addition of a 165‘ x 65‘ chlorinated saltwater pool.
