This hidden gem of a playground is worth finding if you're in the West Deptford or Woodbury area…read moreand have little ones with extra energy to burn. It's a large wooden structure playground with little forts, slides and all manner of fun stuff for kids of all ages to discover. It's even more fun than it looks in the photos I posted (methinks at least). The structure is really large & adults can can follow their kids most places on it if so desired. There are just a few spots where a young child could really take a tumble to the ground below, but that's the hazards of childhood. I kept a sharp eye on kid #1 until pretty recently. He loves this playground the best out of our small rotation though. There are also swings, a balance beam thing, slides and a sandbox. Picnic tables are around for parents & there's a small pavilion area I've seen co-opted for birthday parties. I don't think they do reservations like at Chestnut Branch park in Mantua. There's a much larger pavilion there, but the playground itself is not nearly as nice. The location is off of Crown Point Road past the library & police station if coming from Delaware St. Take the first right AFTER the light at police. There is a small sign. Follow the winding road back to the Little League field. Ample parking and a bathroom that is usually open are available. Sometimes the baseball snack bar will be open during season. We even caught a game once on a whim. Well, part of an inning! 3 year olds are notoriously fickle.

Awesome park for kids of all ages from 1 to 101!…read more My wife takes the kids here every so often, and she took me recently. This place is huge! Baseball fields, basketball courts, soccer fields, tennis courts, football fields, hiking trails, and a kids jungle gym. The playground is pretty big with dozens of slides and swings and tons of fun things for kids to climb on and run over! The whole park is kept in great shape in general. You can tell the community really cares about their space here! All in all a very nice park with tons of activities! They also do movie nights in the park in the summer! If tour kids need to unwind, come here!

Very large, very open, very clean park, smack dab in the middle of Gloucester Township. We went…read morehere yesterday, just looking for a new park to check out, and we were pleasantly surprised. This park pretty much has everything; playgrounds, open spaces, ball fields, basketball courts, a hiking trail (allegedly...we couldn't find it, but that was most likely our fault,) walking paths, etc, etc. Despite being so large, it's also rather connected, if that makes sense, and you're able to get to everything relatively quickly. The park is more "open" than "large." For example, you can get from one playground to another, without having to take a trek. There is a ton of space, but you're able to traverse the space to navigate the park. There's also plenty of parking. Also, they do drive in movies and stuff here, AND, it's dog friendly, so there aren't too many negatives. The only "downside" I could see is that it got pretty busy, and just being crowd-phobic by nature, it's less than ideal for me. We'll definitely be back early and often.

I have many memories at this park and it will always be my go-to! I grew up at this park since the age of 10! Am now 35!

You don't know what you don't know and for the last four and a half years I had no idea this park…read morewas here. I don't recall how I stumbled upon it, but ever since then when I work down in Logan Township, all I can talk about is this park. I didn't take many pictures as it was raining and I typically don't like running with anything in my hands, much less a phone. I'm a purist, so no phone, no ear buds, just me and the pavement. So if you haven't guessed it, I love running in this park. If you are a runner, jogger, walker, whatever - they have space for you. They have marked miles so if you don't wear a tracker you will still know exactly how far you have gone. They have something for everyone... you want fields? They have so many, softball, baseball, soccer, field hockey and basketball courts. And they have multiples of each, so if someone is using a field you want, no worries they have others. This park is huge, but it is also clean and well maintained - you will be able to tell immediately that this is an affluent community. Each of the times I have come here to go for a run, there were parents with their little peewee football kids practicing. There were dads teaching their daughters to catch a baseball, there were grandparents walking babies in strollers, there were moms with tykes in the playground designated for little kids. There were joggers like me, there were lovers strolling by and holding hands, there were people of all ages and sizes walking and enjoying this beautiful park. I hope it stays like this forever, it is a jewel in this community and everytime I visit Logan Township, I will be visiting this park for a run.

****Wintertime Only Review****…read more We heard this park was a great place to sled in the area, so when we got enough snow this year to partake, we pulled out the sleds and headed on down. Gotta say; they were right. While the park WAS a bit crowded, there was still enough room for everyone to get a "lane" to sled. I particularly liked how there was a big hill, for the teens and more adventurous types, and then a smaller, but still useful hill for the little ones. (Also, if you came in basically sideways, where the entry way to the park is, it was basically a medium sized hill.) There is a playground and tons of open space, and even though it was PACKED, there was a lot of room for parking. Signage was a little off, as there is a "bridge" in the parking lot, and someone literally drove their car off of it in the snow, because it wasn't marked. *shoulder shrug* I'm nitpicking at this point. I'm sure this park is just as nice in the nice weather, and it's definitely our first stop for sledding if an when it snows again.

This is great playground for the younger set. It has swings for babies & bigger kids. There are…read morealso 2 different size playsets for toddlers & older kids. Adjacent are basketball courts & multiple basketball hoops for practising shots etc. Also on the grounds are tennis courts and what I believe is a sand volleyball/horse shoe court area. They have a pavilion for parties and restrooms on-site. A long looping trail is used for leisurely family walks and more serious joggers alike. Ample parking and close proximity to Dippy's ice cream stand on route 45 make this park worth the extra miles in our book.

A blast from the past, this is the most unique children's play place in South Jersey in terms of…read morehistory & sheer longevity. Open just 3 days a week for 6 weeks in the summer, it's completely free for kids 12 and under only. (8 and under on Tuesdays). It used to be a sanitarium & still serves as a place for kids to play, relax and eat free soup at noon. Seriously. It's been open for basically ever & is kind of a local secret. Unless you are a carousel expert, then you would know about their famous Ferrari carousel that is still operating and worth a trip just to experience alone. Look up the history online for an interesting story. The grounds are large enough for some soccer games etc. & I saw what looks like a volleyball court there too. There are old trees scattered around, so you can set yourself up with a blanket & camp chairs in the shade if you'd like. Or there are 3 large pavilions and multitudes of picnic tables all over the place. I also saw people with coolers of their own food. A huge slide, swimming and wading pools, free lunch at noon, plus snacks at 10 & 2, a playground, tons of swing sets and even old-school wooden see-saws = happy kids. http://southjerseyexplorer.com/2013/05/06/soupy-island-revisited/
