Marlton Park is a vast open space, with various sports fields, for football (with lights), baseball, and soccer. They have at least 2 playgrounds that I saw, as well as picnic pavilions, trash cans, restrooms, and benches. There is a paved walking trail circling much of the park too. The entrance I used was almost missed because it's a gravel driveway with a small sign, in the middle of a residential neighborhood. So slow down as you approach, and keep eyes peeled. The larger playground (see my photos) had newer equipment, which was very fun! The double slide here is really fast, I was surpsied how fast my toddler slid compared to this same design I've put him on at a million other playgrounds. My son loved it. My dogs got excited by the open views across the fields, and were grateful to have an expanse where they could roam. Great greenspace for lots of family fun!

The view of the Delaware River and the Delaware Memorial Bridge is pleasant and enjoyable, especially in the evening. I'm a park fan and visit plenty between here and Burlington. This is one of my favorites.

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.

It was a bit weird to be strolling along and suddenly see gates marked with warnings against trespassing. That being said, if you stick close to the river it shouldn't be an issue. This is a lovely looking area, made oddly more fascinating by the nuclear smokestacks that are within eyesight on the river. On the off season you can walk out on to the ferry dock and get a full view of the Delaware River in all it's glory, if you can call it that. The paths in this park aren't very long, but it is a pleasant stroll from one end to the other. It's also a very dog friendly park, so I felt very out of the loop being the only person without a dog on a leash the day I went! The old gun batteries are interesting and hauntingly beautiful in the way that abandoned man-made structures usually are. Some portions are in greater disrepair than others, but the majority seem safe enough for exploring. If you're a history buff this would be a great way to spend an afternoon. Fort Mott is not your average park, and it's not even your average historical site. There's something about it that sticks with you. I found my mind wandering back to the landscape I encountered there in the week after my visit. Even though I never felt in danger, there's something a little unsettling about this place. That, as well as it's short trails, are what keep it from getting a perfect score from me. However, if you're in the area, I do recommend stopping by. At the very least you'll get a history lesson.

There was a decent amount…read moreof parking near the visitor center, but there were other events in the area, so it could vary. It's a small gift shop and a place to buy tickets, and then the boat leaves on the half hour to the fort. This is a lesser-known Civil War site because it didn't see any battle action, but it was a great representation of an army strong hold + POW encampment. My favorite part was the reenactors who are in period dress and are there for discussion of life on site in 1864. These actors are incredibly knowledgeable, and when I went it wasn't crowded, so it allowed for a good discourse asking them about their occupation and role at the fort. Then there are plenty of rooms to walk through with self-guided signs. Restrooms and a small shop for souvenirs/water is available. There is also a midday boat ride to Fort Mott, but I didn't have the time to travel there. A tram gets you to and from boat to fort. If you keep an eye on the time, it's very reliable. Every employee seemed very enthusiastic about the site, which helped make the experience special. It was a great historic site and one I hope more people go visit.

It had rained the night before so the trails were a little muddy and the wet leaves made things slippery so I stuck to the paved trail. One trailhead has restrooms and picnic tables. They allow bow and arrow deer hunting season but it is clearly marked. A family of deer crossed my path right in front of me. You can see one deer jumping across the path in one picture. The mom and baby crossed in front of me and I could hear rustling in the woods so I waited patiently for the dad to appear. Very peaceful. When the trails are not muddy, make sure you explore off on them. This is part of the Delaware Greenway system - make sure you check out all the other paths.
