Carteret’s Waterfront Park, located at 1 Lighthouse Way, includes a miniature golf course with a lighthouse snack stand that will offer Maglione’s famous Italian Ice, hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, Good Humor Ice Cream and Popsicles, and drinks. Birthday food packages are also available for miniature golf parties.
