Jumping Point Park

This is the site of the first of

a series of bridges that

linked Rumson and Seabright.

The initial structure was a

pedestrian toll bridge

constructed in 1870 through

the efforts of the Jumping

Brook Drawbridge Company.

Subsequently, metal swing

bridges spanned the

Shrewsbury River at this

location.

Marker is at the intersection of Rumson Road and Packer Avenue, on the left when traveling east on Rumson Road.
