Now N Then

The old toll booths. They used to collect tolls here and then parking at Jones Beach was included in that toll. Now you pay for parking at the parking field that you use and they do not collect tolls at the toll booths.

There is more to Jones Beach than the water tower but the tower and the traffic circle around it are identifiable as Jones Beach. The toll booths and the tower look the same as they did in the 1950’s. I grew up 5 miles east of this tower.
