In 2006 the pier opened as The Pier Shops at Caesars, and was renamed the Playground Pier in 2015. Background ĪCX1 Studios is the successor to the famed Million Dollar Pier, which operated on the site from 1906 to 1981, and the Ocean One shopping mall pier which operated there from 1983 to 2003. The pier is expected to reopen as a film production studio and entertainment venue in 2024 to host film shoots attracted to the robust South Jersey-specific film tax credits. The pier has hosted a variety of attractions and shopping experiences since it was first built in the early twentieth century.
