Keeping our powder dry and our canon warm..

September 20, 2026 by Blogfinger

Founders Park. Ocean Grove. This is an authentic Civil War canon  and it’s aimed at Asbury Park. Paul Goldfinger photo     2018

You can get a smile out of Ted Bell when you point out the direction of our canon. The young lady, an intern from the Historical Society of OG,  helps warm up a cold day and a cold canon.

Founders Park, the best park in Ocean Grove, is next to the “Wesley Retention/Detention Basin”  and is just west of the corpse of the Warrington Hotel, and then a little more east we come to the site of the North End Redevelopment Plan (“NERP”) which will be located next to the Boardwalk and a short distance away from where the dirty storm water will flow into the Basin and then into the Ocean.

We wrote about the history of this Union canon; just do a search at the top of this page.

    The Warrington site might still be an active crime scene. Also there has been a lawsuit over this.

    In your statement, you mention the Warrington site. Why hasn’t this site been cleared and filled in? I believe there is an ordinance that requires this site to be cleared. What is going on here? Is this more corruption of our zoning officials?
