“ | Need to get out and unwind this summer? Tell your worries to take a long walk off a short pier - because you're heading to the BOARDWALK!
— Boardwalk publicity blurb

Boardwalk is a community-created King of the Hill map released during the Summer 2025 Update. It is set in the Laughing Tides Amusement Park and Boardwalk, a carnival built on a beach boardwalk.
Boardwalk was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Locations
The following locations are described from the BLU perspective.
- Spawn Area: the teams spawn on opposite ends of the boardwalk. Each Spawn Area has two front doors side by side and one side door to the right, as well as a Shooting Gallery: Badlands Bandito for RED and Pirate's Plunder for BLU. Players who stand on the footprints on the ground and shoot the opposite team-colored targets until all the lights in the back are lit receive a Halloween pumpkin.
- Spawn Yard: the area directly outside the Spawn Area, with four paths to take. On the RED side is the Bottle Buster and the Gift Shop; on the BLU side is the Pumpkin Smash and the Arcade.
- The far left path takes players to either the Battlements or the exit of the opposite team's Tunnel and Conveyors. On the RED side are a queue area at the entrance and the Hall of Mirrors and Milk Toss in the lower area; on the BLU side are some bumper cars at the entrance and the Can-Can Ka-Blam and Bananarama in the lower area.
- The middle left path is an S-shaped corridor with an exit protected by a glass window, from where players can safely see the point's surroundings, and the shortest path to the point. On the RED side is the Robotic Sideshow, where players can hit a mechanical Merasmus head for a misfortune telling; on the BLU side are the Real Live Crocodiles.
- The middle right path is a simple turn that leads directly to the front of the entrance to the Conveyors.
- The far right path is a straight corridor that leads to the team's Tunnel.
- Battlements: a small perch overseeing the entire control point area.
- Covered Exit: the exit of the far left path is protected by a curved wooden wall, and offers quick and easy access to the other team's Tunnel and Conveyors.
- Tunnel: a long and curved passage around the point that leads to the other team's side of the map.
- Conveyors: each team has a building on one side of the point with an accessible second floor, which consists of two rooms with windows overseeing the point connected by a catwalk over two conveyors that toss any players that get on them onto the point. RED's building is the Sawmill of Love; BLU's building is the Mad Manor.
- Control Point: the Control Point sits on a raised platform, which is a bit higher than the surrounding area. Holes on the platform drop players onto the crocodile-infested waters below the boardwalk.
- Underpass: a passage beneath the point connecting the two sides of the map.

Trivia
- The Boardwalk Barker has several voice lines that contain references to multiple pieces of media:[1]
- The line where he hums the chorus of the Toreador Song is a reference to the video game Five Nights at Freddy's where a music box version of this chorus is played shortly after running out of power.
- The line "What are you gonna do with that big bat? Gonna hit me? Better make it count! Better make it hurt! Better kill me in one shot!" is a reference to a meme of an anthropomorphic baseball saying this same line.
- The line "Aren't you that guy with a dollhouse? Maybe that's someone else." is a reference to streamer Jerma985, with the mention of a dollhouse referring to his The Jerma985 Dollhouse livestream event.
- The line "Hellooooo nurse!" is a reference to the catchphrase Yakko and Wakko say whenever spotting the character Hello Nurse in the 1993 animated series Animaniacs.
- The line "Take your best shot, doc! Like they say, nothing ventured nothing gained!" is a reference to a line Dr. Coomer speaks in the first episode of the Youtube series Half-Life VR but the AI Is Self-Aware.
- The line "You missed that one. Try another!" is a reference to a line spoken by an elderly prospector in the game Mad Dog McCree. It also is a reference to a popular clip of the streamer Jerma985.
- The line "Eyy ya missed pal!" is a reference to the line spoken by a carnival worker working a ring toss game in the video game Dark Seed II.
- The line "I'll get you for that. Make it look like an accident too." is a reference to a similar line from the The Cat in the Hat where the Cat says "I'll get you, and it'll look like a bloody accident".
- The maps Boardwalk and Mannhole take place in the same general area. This is directly alluded to with the city Mannhole takes place in being a part of Boardwalk's skybox.[2]
