WELCOME TO MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP
Manchester Township is located in beautiful Ocean County, New Jersey, just minutes from the Jersey Shore and
in between New York City, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Manchester is nestled in the New Jersey Pinelands and we are Ocean County’s best kept secret!
We thank you for your interest in Manchester Township
Beautiful Parks, Lakes, and Preserved Open Space, our top notch municipal services and our vibrant and dynamic community makes Manchester a great place to live, work, and raise a family. That is why the June 2012 edition of Inside New Jersey, a monthly publication of the Star Ledger, rated Manchester Township as such a great place to retire in New Jersey. Manchester Township offers something for everyone!

Manchester Community Celebrates National Night Out
We had a great time at National Night Out yesterday with our Manchester Police officers, Mayor Rob Arace, the Manchester Recreation crew, Manchester Division of Emergency Services members, our volunteer responders, and our friends from the Lakehurst Police Department! National Night Out is an initiative that seeks to strengthen the bond between residents and law enforcement, while fostering community bonds. The event offers a great opportunity for the community to get to know our officers in a relaxed and fun setting. Additionally, it was great to see special guests such as Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Bradley Billhimer and State Senator Carmen F. Amato Jr. Thank you to everyone who came out for this annual community tradition!
