An absolute mecca located in the heart of downtown Pennsville NJ. Not many towns have a beautiful,…read moreriverside parks to act as its hub. Pennsville is lucky to claim just that. Walk around its looping trail. It is well-kept and has markers for distance and even a few obstacle courses on the side. There's water if its a hot day. Sit by the river and watch the day pass. The view is simply outstanding. There are a number of swinging benches and regular old wooden benches. The river goes in and out with the tide. It's really quite stunning. There is a man-made lake at the heart of the park. It's fun to walk around. A lot of wildlife, particularly water fowl. I used to chase them as a kid, but now I just admire them. There's a lot of places to just lounge the day away. After school, I used to go lay under the weeping willow tree at the southside of the lake. Hours I would spend there, sleeping, reading, making out with my girlfriend. You should go and chill out.

The park is well maintained, has plenty of areas for kids as well as adults to be active, enough benches throughout the park and waterfront trail to accommodate most people visiting. 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.

There is a nice creek where my dog enjoyed stopping for a drink along the way. The path is well-maintained and peaceful. I walked the entire loop at a brisk pace in less than 9 minutes, making it a great spot for a quick walk in nature.

This is a pretty crappy little park, wedged between Rte 202 and Conestoga Road. It consists of a…read moresingle trail that starts and ends at the parking lot, winding through mostly wooded areas, but also over a fire swampy place. See the pictures for details. There is constant and pretty loud traffic noise from Rte 202, which is a highway in this area. The enclosed nature of this place means you won't see any of the deer that are across 202 near the abandoned Aegon office building (another review, another day) or any other significant wildlife. This place just seems like an afterthought, something to do with some undeveloped land, a place to eat your lunch or make out in your car with that certain special co-worker. What prevents a one-star rating? The trail does have inclines, so you can get a decent walk. You can do the whole circuit in less than 10 minutes at a brisk pace. That, and somebody made the effort to label some of the trees. Also, it's so close to my workplace that it's hard to ignore. There's a decent stream that winds its way around which is nicely distracting. Still, with the traffic noise, you can't really feel close to nature. Oh, btw, no bike riding allowed, or golf, pets, alcohol, and be gone by dusk. So if your hamster wanted to bike to the fireswamp area to practice his night putting with a sixpack of Bud Ice, consider finding a Plan B.

Also the main thing is there is a couple of puddles that stay stagnant and have made several dogs sick so if there's a way to get that drained it would be really helpful

Kent Dog Park is closest to my house, but we travel to Haverford Reserve because it's just the…read morebest! There are always lots of dogs and the park itself is just super unique. It has multiple levels, platforms, tubes, benches, tables, toys, and water. The parking lot is gigantic and there are trails nearby for walks. Of course poop bags are also available on-site. As with all dog parks, but especially this one because it is so popular, you are going to encounter irresponsible owners and badly behaved dogs. I have seen owners glued to their phones, with headphones in, smoking cigarettes and completely ignoring the fact that their dog is either taking a sh!t or acting aggressively. I have seen folks arguing about whether an aggressive dog belongs in the park. And lastly, cars do get robbed. Don't leave valuables in your car! Pay attention and stay engaged, and hopefully you and your pup(s) will have a great time.

I've been looking for a dog park for my pups that has space and good parking. Boom! Haverford…read moreReserve Dog Park checked my boxes. They have a smaller side for small dogs and the big dog space is hugeeee. Kinda wish the smaller side was just as interactive. There's a hose/ water fountain on both sides and plenty of balls. Either way, my 20-25lbs pups enjoyed both sides and were tired as heck after. The fellow dog owners were fairly friendly and were watching their pups. I'm sure there are a few who aren't as attentive but luckily I didn't run into those folks. This will be our dog park from here forward.

There are 3 locations throughout the state park that had different events, activities and music going on. There were plenty of activities for the kiddos, a beer garden, food trucks, and plenty of local vendors. One area had pickleball tournaments and first responder demonstrations. There were bands and artists all day and even an open mic! Can't wait for year 4!

I was looking for something that was somewhat of a unicorn find. I needed a toddler safe playground…read morethat was also fenced off. My toddler is a runner, he's a track star. I came upon this park when doing a google search for local parks. I have to admit, I wasn't sure it was going to be as good looking in person as it was online, but it was a gorgeous afternoon and I had nothing else to do, so away we went! The location is tucked away right off of Baltimore Pike and Ring Road, behind the township's municipal building. There's a small parking lot and handicapped accessibility into the playground, as well as availability around the playground itself once inside the fenced area. This is a HUGE plus in my book, as I have handicapped family members and it's often hard for me to find a park that I can take both my toddler and family members to. The equipment is still practically new and in great working shape. There's a toddler side (ages 2-5) and older children's side (5-12) with lots of different options. There's also plenty of bench seating, as well as picnic tables. Right outside of the fenced playground area is a wonderful pavilion area with new and nicely kept patio furniture for lounging. There are two negatives I personally found: 1.) There are no trash cans at the park. This is a HUGE negative for me as a parent - kids make a LOT of trash. I have no issue taking my trash along with me home, however, I know there's plenty of other people that won't, and it'll end up being left behind. 2.) The walkway around the playground doesn't have a level amount of wood chips, so when you're making your way from the playground to the sidewalk, you can very easily fall onto the sidewalk. Which my toddler did and slammed very hard onto the sidewalk. This is definitely a safety hazard. With my two negatives being said, they are both things that can easily be corrected. Despite the massive amount of traffic flying by on Baltimore Pike during rush hour, it was quite peaceful and serene, with lots animals about and the Brandywine flowing behind the park. I look forward to many more visits to the park.

OK, so here's the thing... This isn't an Arboretum in the way you think of curated trees. And…read morealthough they tout the mature Woodland, there are some areas that are very recent growth. But it is truly a delightful nature area, nestled in the midst of a residential area, The trail which does have two entrances marked towards the right and left corners of meadow (from parking lot) is an actual loop trail. But there's no way to know that from the markings or even the Township description online since it says there's a spur that comes out on the far end. Leisurely pace for the loop 15 to 20 minutes depending on speed or longer if you want to stop and enjoy wildlife along the way. Very active bird calls, and visit The Township site said that it comes out on a route road further away and there does appear to be a smaller spur that would take you in that direction. Please be cautious and be prepared because there are a fair amount of downed tree to scramble over, Gulleys, that clearly fill up with water, and two rickety bridges, including one that has actual broken planks on it so test the wood as you walk across. It was very dry the day I came so my white gym shoes made it through but there are at least seven or eight major areas of true muck that will absolutely challenge your footwear if you're not prepared Really little hidden gem. Also worth taking a look at the rules of hopscotch on the embedded hopscotch layout. Clearly trying to make it fun for children.

Free township park, called an "arboretum". Parking is a gravel lot that can accommodate…read moreapproximately 15-20 cars depending on how courteously people park. Trash can is near entrance. Leashed dogs allowed (no dog waste bags). One source stated this is a 2.3-acre greenspace, however it appears to be larger on the township trail map. I did not see the trail map before my visit so I didn't get a chance to explore the trails. The property kind of bottlenecks after the lawn area around parking, and the "neck" is wooded area that passes between residential properties. It is helpful to know ahead that the property then will fan out to a much larger trail system, otherwise you may assume (like I) that it's one short trail, perhaps tributary-ing off to residences, and not worth exploring. Next visit I will pursue the trails! The lawn area by the parking lot is definitely a relaxing space with various benches and Adirondack chairs for sitting. Two Adirondack chairs are hugely oversized for pictures or kid fun. There is a small pavilion, and a maze-like swirl pattern set in the grass with paver stones. It is a fun and safe place to explore for outdoor time.
