Eatontown Drive-In exterior

Saw an advertisement announcing it’s opening on April 21, 1950 with Mickey Rooney in “The Big Wheel” & Rod Cameron in “Stampede”. It offered “Free in-car heaters…Visit the Monkey Village”. The Eatontown Drive-In was a Walter Reade Theatre. It was closed in 1982.

The property is now in use as a mobile home park.

Thanks to the aerial shot, we can say it is not the site of a mobile home park. The park is to the North of the old drive-in. And they existed at the same time as well.

There looks to be a series of octo-plexes where the old drive was.
