The Gaga Court at Murray Grove Retreat and Renewal Center in Lanoka Harbor, NJ, is an enclosed, octagonal pit nestled within the peaceful 20-acre Pine Barrens campus. It serves as an active, outdoor recreational amenity where guests can play the fast-paced, safer version of dodgeball.
Court Features:
- Structure: A raised, enclosed wooden octagon (gaga pit) designed to keep the ball in play.
- Safety & Play: The game involves slapping a soft foam ball with an open hand, allowing players to exercise and compete safely without catching or throwing.
- Setting: Surrounded by the rustic, tranquil woodlands of the Jersey Shore, providing a great space for kids, youth groups, and team-building retreats to run and play.
It is an especially popular feature for youth gatherings and family events looking to balance peaceful, mindful reflection with physical fun.
