About 80% of my childhood revolves around this place…read more.. From it having a playground, to a baseball field, to tennis and basketball courts, there is a little bit of something for everyone. On a recent trip back to the east coast, I stopped here to visit a friend who was here with his children. I was surprised to see how empty it was; the majority of the people go to Hammonton Park during the day. That keeps the Borough Field a pretty well kept secret!!! They've put a lot of money into the baseball field recently. From an electronic scoreboard, to stadium lights, to enclosed dug-outs, its a great place to play. The park has lots of parking on the street around it, or you can always park at the church next door... Though, I'm sure they wouldn't be too thrilled with me suggesting that, but who goes to church these days any way??? I've spent a lot of time here playing softball, climbing trees, and playing squish the lemon (best game EVER!), and encourage parents to allow their children to do the same!!!

This is a very pretty park in Millville along the Maurice River. There are two playgrounds, one at…read moreeither entrance. Note that you cannot drive all the way through from one entrance to another, but each has its own parking lot. The park is not huge, like for hiking or biking, but it does allow for a short walk across the pond bridge, and across the river bridge to the park across the river (Captain Joseph Buck Park), where there is a paved trail along the river. The playground at the City Park Drive entrance is older and while it still works, there is only one small climbing structure and the swings, etc. are not as exciting as the other area at the Brandriff entrance. A Mister Softee ice cream truck visited at the Brandriff entrance while we were there, and a number of local kids were there playing. They were super friendly and sweet. Usually I love to rate any greenspace high stars, but my negatives here are really upsetting, and can't go ignored. There were dangerous people behaving oddly just across the river at the foot of the bridge. It appeared illegal deals or illegal substance use was going down right over the bridge. Needless to say, this is absolutely unacceptable around children, and the adults on the playground were wary and nervous as well. Who knows how dangerous that activity can get, but as soon as we saw why other parents were nervous, we immediately left. Absolutely disgusting in broad daylight, with children around, and where are the cops? On the way out, there was broken glass everywhere from someone breaking all the (formerly nice) lampposts, and it looked like they'd been shot at or punctured with a rock, so as to darken the area for nefarious night activity. Such a shame. They've put a lot of money and planning into these dual parks, and the locals really need it. Three stars for the civic efforts, and for those sweet kids and their terrified mothers, who are doing their best keeping safe there to play.

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.

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.

There is nothing to do here for a beginner except maybe play with this tiny pyramid and try to learn how to skate transition, The shallow concrete is pretty Jenky it's far jankier than the deep end and the jankyness slows you down a lot, so keep that in mind. The roll in just throws you into the wall unless you go in sideways like a surfer or something and it's pretty sketch doing that, I'd say it's great for round wall and vert riders the vert side is just barely 8' so it's a great entry point for the vert curious to get your feet wet, bring softer wheels as the rough pavement isn't letting you slide out super easy which is a plus for some and a minus for others.
