Bowcraft Amusement Park or Bowcraft Playland is located on Route 22 West in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, United States. It is a medium size family amusement park with a large selection of rides for children and teens, including the Dragon roller coaster and the brand new Crossbow Rollercoaster. Bowcraft Amusement Park is open weekends from April through October and daily June through Labor Day.

After allowing the purchase of single tickets since its founding, the amusement park switched to a "one-price" only policy in the summer of 2007. The charge for a child is $23.95 and the charge for an adult is $15.95. Adults choosing not to use the rides, who are present to solely to supervise their child, still must pay the full adult fee. In summer of 2009 pricing has changed back to per ride.
