The summer music concerts are always a blast - bringing in people from all over, food truck, and showcasing local bands.

That is a more recent situation.

Friends told us it gets a lot more crowded when the concert is packed. Explored the stream, played on the playground and had a game in the field as well. Good drainage after recent rains. Bumped into other friends who happened to be there for the concert. After group activities, went to check out the concert and noticed the public bathrooms and tennis courts adjacent to the amphitheater area. It would be super fun to play tennis with the music going. Found a robust black cherry tree and some other cool species thriving in the park. Look forward to returning.

I am proud to be the first to review this park. Well, it is mostly lake. I will explain…read more Fishing types go bonkers over this place consisting of twenty acres. Why? Because the state released in Spring 2015 tons of broadstock trout, a.k.a. "lunkers"; at three to seven pounds each, and measuring fifteen to twenty-four inches in length. It was the most fish released on opening day ever in the state of New Jersey. The lake is at the very end of Industrial Drive. Very easy to locate. The path is covered in goose poop and possibly discarded Christmas trees that were shredded by the township for trail chips. It goes completely around the lake. There are side trails that are short and long, some going to water that divides Crystal from Millcreek Park, and some going to the Rancocas. These side trails can lead to bog, so wear tough footwear. There is a main path that goes to the water between the parks- it is easy to find. There is also a very small lake to the right of the bigger one. This one is probably not stocked, but you never know what's in there. If you pass that lake, you will hit another industrial park. Cross that road to get to Olympia for more fishing. This is a good spot for birdwatching. Blue herons stay really still, so look carefully. Don't litter, because it will hurt everything that breathes here. I would not eat a caught fish. Check with the DEP first. In the summer, wear some kind of repellant. If you see a tent at the very front with audible curse words emanating from it, pass it fast. This park is not to be confused with the park of the same name in Burlington, NJ. Crystal Lake has something for everyone- anglers, walkers, birdwatchers, and bottle hunters. And, yes- even weirdos. Interesting Facts: -I had a part-time pet dog here for a few years. He belonged to the water plant next door. -A friend and I came upon a couple drinking a case of Pepsi in the deep woods bordering this lake. Not sure what was going on... -Old bottles are only worth one buck. -In late January of 2002, the Hi-Temp Specialty Metals plant on Industrial Drive had an explosion in which one employee died and at least a dozen were injured. OSHA fined Hi-Temp. Good.

My lady friend and I walked around and through the park in a leisurely fashion. The bright sun reflected off the lake in blinding but welcoming fashion. As we walked, a flock of geese, majestically landed in virtual unison. We returned to the car carefully avoiding the little "gifts' left on the ground by the feathered flock.

It's right next to a school so you might want to avoid it during certain hours if you are seeking peace and tranquility near the lake's fountain. There are lots of Canada geese here so look out for lots of droppings during certain times of the year.
