Lakewood BlueClaws at FirstEnergy Park

ShoreTown Ballpark is a 6,588-seat minor league baseball venue in Lakewood, New Jersey, home to the Jersey Shore BlueClaws, the High-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. Built in 2001 and known originally as GPU Energy Park and later as FirstEnergy Park, the stadium adopted its current name in 2022 when the ownership group rebranded around the Jersey Shore identity. For private events, the park rents its facilities on non-game days and throughout the year. The field is available for weddings — including ceremonies on home plate — corporate softball games, charity events, and film shoots. Indoors, the BlueClaws Executive Conference Center and the Champions Club, a triple-box party suite on the luxury suite level, accommodate conferences, seminars, corporate outings, and private parties, both with full A/V capability and food and beverage service. The park's 400,000-square-foot parking lot has hosted major trade shows and outdoor exhibitions. Beyond the event spaces themselves, the ballpark's shore-themed atmosphere — including a nine-hole mini golf course, boardwalk games, fire pits, and two bars — sets a distinctive backdrop that few traditional venues can match.
