To the Editor:

In response to William Boyd’s accusations in his letter (“Parking Ploy,” 7/29): I have watched firsthand how the parking at Bayview Park is used for beach access by day-trippers, as Mayor Joe Mancini indicated it would be. It is not a parking ploy, as Boyd alleges.

I am frequently at the park, giving lessons, so I see on a firsthand basis the activity that occurs there. This park has truly become a center of activity for Long Beach Township.
