I had to call the township park office to learn this in advance, but for this portion of the park, dogs ARE allowed. There is a dog waste station as I show in my photos. Dogs are NOT allowed at the Zoo and its attached park, but they may visit this separated portion. On a weekday in summer, not a soul was there. Tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer fields, no one at all! So if you want to practice or play any of these sports, you're likely to have the park all to yourself.

This park was recently redone and boy has it been a beautiful renovation. Many people just sit and stare out over beautiful sunset lake on the 40 or more benches from one end of the park to the other. Kids frolic. Seniors meet w friends. Surrounding and adorning the park are many memorials that you should take the time to view. Monuments to veterans and in a little tiny Grassy area on New Jersey Ave. you'll see a tiny memorial to a local resident who was lost on the 9/11 tragedy at WTC.

There are so many things for…read morethe kids and young adults, which totally justifies the big taxes the residents of the town pay. I get to visit this very fine town more than a few times a year since my brother and his family moved here in mid 2000s. And this park is definitely a highlight for his kids to be out and about and do things that is so quintessential summer! Here are some of the key highlights: - Big kid's playground, fully mulched, with all the swings and the castle of slides. The grounds clearly are well taken care of and everything looks so pretty - There are big soccer fields right behind the kids' playground. I almost mistook it for a mini golf course; the field was so green and well maintained and I believe there are more than 3 of them; and one is even lighted for night matches. - There is an amphitheater bang in the middle of the 35 acres expanse where they have bands come in and play during the summer and there are scheduled movie screenings as well. - 4 Tennis courts. So neat and clean. i was really impressed to see the quality of the nets and the hard court coats. Finally, the access roads - in and out of the park, connecting the main streets are so well maintained, with enough parking for families to come in and enjoy great times. Keep up the good work!! - Amazingly well kept baseball / softball field.

We did not call it by name, we called it Castle park, by the library, near the school. Oh, thank goodness, for the love of God!, that library turned out to be one of the best parts. The children loved the children's book section, no kidding? right, lol. Yes, highly recommended of chaperone experience for the little ones, hey, enjoying the park for them, eh, okay it is enjoyable for adults, okay, fine! You got me, lol. The interaction of genuine heart of children sometimes results in adults caring to share the basic human need of thankful communication. One "face to face" treasure of social experience. Justly peaceful, and it is patrolled not only by parents, there are venues of the township, like the library, and the police are not long, had that been necessary. Never had I've seen the police needed to be notified to go there. Thank you Egg Harbor Twp, I used to live there. Good today of days. Of course, Creator given rights & dignity only God provides, ie, the three charters of freedom, The Declaration of Independence, The Preamble and The Ten Bill of Right, in the years of our Lord, 1776-1991. Just Peace from God.

Nice and free historic site of a childhood home for one of the nation's founding fathers. It's off…read morethe beaten path, but it's a big property. The visitor center has a small exhibit and an introductory film which is nice but the guide prefaces by saying it "focuses too much on John Dickinson" (?) The exhibit focuses more on the family and the enslaved/servants who lived there, which really rounded out the property, but we did come here because we wanted to learn more about John Dickinson. No gift shop, which was disappointing. The tour itself was very informative, and there was a big crowd visiting when I did. Again, the tour seemed to want to downplay Dickinson and his role in the American Revolution. Likely because he thought the colonies weren't prepared to go to war, he abstained from voting for independence, he is less remembered than other Founding Fathers, but I came to learn about him, and the guide wasn't all that interested in talking about him and what he did accomplish. Still, the furnishings were nice, and we got to learn about Dickinson's father, his wife and family, and his brother who all lived there with a focus on the lesser-known residents. I think that could have all been balanced better. The view of the river is lovely, and there are some out buildings and a garden to stroll through. It's a nice outdoor site, and for free, it's still a good site to visit to see history being preserved.

The…read morehouse was interesting to see, and there were a few pieces of furniture that I loved- such as the rope beds, the chair that was oversized, the large loom, and the travel clock that one of the Dickinsons took with him when he traveled. The guide was nice and interesting. That is saying a lot, because I can get bored very easily. She spent an adequate amount of time in each room. Before we took the tour, we had to see a movie, that was about 15 minutes long, mostly about history. We were the only people there, and I got up during the movie and looked at the other exhibits in the room. I would say travel here if you like history or old houses/furniture.

This beach is decidedly sleepier than Ocean City, Sea Isle, and many non-LBI beaches, and most of its charm is from its inherent "coziness." The lifeguards were very kind and vigilant, making sure that the no-swimming zones were properly demarcated and that we could enjoy the offings of the beach. Free street parking and some mini golf and ice cream nearby. What more can I say? :)

I mean, I get it surrounded by a bunch of sand and a lake and trees, but that doesn't excuse it. The bathroom is locked most of the time and after 7 PM the bathroom is locked for the whole night so you have to do a little tinkle out in the pond. It is gross I know, right? So my little ones like to run around the playground and they're the right age for it but sometimes things get broken and it shuts down and my husband he goes out kayaking and then my wife goes out partying at the nightclub so my little kiddos, they like to run wild on the thing and I don't know how this can slide but it's very small and no after they turned one year older they're not gonna like this place mark my words. I love going kayaking at this place and my whole family does but Thing is I don't really like going on the playground so small. I broke my neck here once and the grass is so brown. I don't even know how to believe it. So that's all I have to say after I broke my neck here I came kayaking and I fell into the sewer, but it's OK. I got myself out with the crew rescue teams and then the wildfires happened and then it was a very tragic day, but I'm not gonna talk about it because I don't wanna cry again. Oh my God don't cry don't cry don't cry cry let it all out. That was my husband by the way and my wife. They're the same person. They transitioned a few years ago, so they were a girl and now their husband, but I don't even know what to say my kiddo my kiddos they love this place, but not for long because I'm gonna mark their words out of here. Here's a picture of my broken neck injury. I hope you guys can take this into consideration before coming here because this place is wonderful masterful but I just don't know how much I can trust the employees anymore not there is any employees which is also a red flag there's no employees and who would have their birthday party here. I saw someone having a birthday party here earlier and it was gross and disgusting. It makes my skin boil. I don't know why anyone would have a birthday party here it's really boring, but I feel like if you had a few more attractions like maybe a Ferris wheel or a waterslide or maybe a roller coaster I could maybe come here a little more often and get you guys more money thank you. Please take into consideration my review and please accept this token of a accomplishment. You guys have done well.

Our paddle took about an hour, and they allow you to borrow the kayaks up to 2 hours. After our paddle we checked out the playground for a bit. It was perfect for our 4 year old. It has 4 big kid swings and 2 baby swings and areas for the both the bigger kids and little ones.

I love National Parks…read more Not just because I'm patriotic with an environmentalist sensibility -- but because they are time warps of sorts -- a glimpse back at the way things once were and (hopefully) will be for our descendants -- long downstream. The Cape May National Wildlife Refuge is a pleasant respite from the commercialism of Jersey Shore holidays -- its' boardwalk attractions, fast food and fast living. It is well marked and you can bring your binocs along to spot wildlife and unique plants and flora found nowhere else. Better still -- bike in and hop scotch around between dunes and other natural formations -- but avoid crossing into the restricted areas that are clearly marked by Area 51 type warning signs -- lest you want automatic weapon toting humans rousting you. We walked the trails in sand, alongside more poison ivy in one 2 square mile stretch than I have probably seen in my entire life. Bring bug spray, a fishing pole to cast off the jetty -- and maybe even long pants and an epipen if you are especially sensitive to insect stings and poisonous plants. Free bird watching walks are regularly available and -- thankfully -- it is a relatively unpopulated attraction so it is soulful in its solitude.
