Turf Club (New Jersey)

The Turf Club is a historic music venue located on the west side of Asbury Park, New Jersey undergoing building improvements as of 2024.

In July of the same year, businesses along Springwood Avenue were damaged or destroyed during the Asbury Park riots, a civil uprising during which Black youth in the area revolted against poor treatment, housing conditions, and an unemployment crisis.

The organization purchased the club in 2022 and, in the same year, received a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation's African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund to help cover rehabilitation expenses.
