The way there

Route 524 east, Route 34 south

Route 34 up and Route 524 west through Allenwood, which is two lanes and trees for most of it and nothing at all like the Route 9 corridor.

A Wall Township address might say Wall, or Manasquan, or Spring Lake, or Allenwood, depending entirely on which corner of it you live in. It is one municipality and a large one, running from the Route 33 end down to the Manasquan River, taking in Allaire State Park, Shark River Park, the speedway on Route 34 and the airport beside it along the way.

The drive is the good part of this

Most of the township comes north on Route 34 and then west on Route 524 through Allenwood, and that road is the reason people from Wall put up with the trip at all — two lanes, trees, no shopping centers, and none of the Route 9 corridor until the very last stretch. It is a drive you enjoy rather than endure, which is rare around here.

What waits at the other end is small on purpose: one NovoTHOR bed in one room, booked to one person at a time. No gym, no locker room, no waiting area full of people. You come in, the session runs, and you go back out the way you came.

Neighborhoods and areas within Wall

Allenwood

Allenwood is strung along Route 524 at the western end of the township, up against the boundary of Allaire State Park.

Blansingburg

Blansingburg gave its name to a one-room schoolhouse built there in 1855. The school ran until 1936, spent decades afterward as a lawn mower repair shop, and was moved four miles in 1999 to the Old Wall Historical Society grounds on New Bedford Road.

Collingwood Park

Collingwood Park crosses the western boundary of Wall Township, so part of the community lies in the adjoining municipality. The Willows at Collingwood Park, 110 rental apartments, stands on the Wall side of that line.

Glendola

Glendola runs along Belmar Boulevard. The Glendola Reservoir is there, a billion-gallon off-river basin fed by water pumped from the Shark and Manasquan Rivers, and it is closed to the public. The volunteer fire company on the same road was formed in 1931.

New Bedford

New Bedford Road carries most of the township's preserved history. The Allgor-Barkalow Homestead, a farmhouse of about 1800, went on the National Register in 1984 and is now the Old Wall Historical Society's museum.

West Belmar

West Belmar is a census-designated place of about 2,450 people packed into less than half a square mile on the eastern edge of Wall Township, between Belmar borough and the rest of the municipality. Its elementary school is on 17th Avenue and it has its own volunteer fire company.

Questions from Wall

Route 34 or Route 524 out of Wall?

Both, in that order, for most of the township: Route 34 north until you can pick up Route 524 and run west through Allenwood. From the top end near Route 33 you can go west on 33 instead and it is roughly a wash.

Does beach season wreck the drive?

Route 35 and Route 138 are the roads that clog on summer weekends, and Route 524 sits out of that entirely. Coming from the Sea Girt or Spring Lake side, leaving before ten on a Saturday makes it a non-issue.

I run a lot — is this useful after long miles?

It is one of the more common reasons people book. The bed is FDA-cleared for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and for increasing local blood circulation, and it covers the whole body in one session rather than one joint at a time.

We are out by Allaire — how close is that?

That corner is the closest part of Wall to us. Route 524 runs from there straight across Howell to Route 9, which makes it the shortest version of this drive by a decent margin.
