Four years later, I still find myself driving here from time to time to do the old running route. Besides that, I run through the park on an almost weekly basis, as it is part of my running clubs 12 mile Sunday run. The park is open and welcoming. A year or two ago volunteers built the Build Jake's Place, a "boundless" playground which welcomes children of all abilities and disabilities. During my most recent visit to the park this past week, I noticed that a second new playground area is being built. (I can't find the info now, but I think I read that it is going to be a softball/baseball field of sorts, again for all children, regardless of ability/disability). The park also includes a quarter mile track, restrooms, bocce court, a basketball court, and baseball field. There is also what appears to be a soccer or football field set back behind a wooded area that I have not ventured to, but I often see games being held there. A short walk to the other end of the park brings to to an area of the Cooper River, and a large grassy field area where one could spread out and relax. For the runner or walker, there are also some trails, which Cherry Hill Township has been making a point of maintaining in the last year or two, and has encouraged people to take advantage of these areas. I only recently ventured back in these trails, and they are really beautiful, well maintained, and not long or complicated enough to get you lost. If you prefer the roads, a lap around the entire park (Caldwell Road, Park Blvd., Kings Hwy., and back into the park on Bortons Mill) is about a 1.25 mile run. The park area is also home to the old Croft Farmstead, but I'll be honest... I don't know what goes on in those buildings, just that it's a historic area in the township. One thing the township/county needs to improve are the restrooms. On the occasion that they are actually open, they are absolutely awful. Smelly, filled with graffiti, no paper towels, and just filthy. The water fountains could use some upgrading, too... they are forced to be turned off in the winter because they don't utilize no-freeze technology, and in the summer the water is just hot, and therefore useless to an overheated endurance runner. If the park could fix either one of those things, they'd easily be a 4 or 5 star park in my eyes.

The article says "Award winning fully accessible park". That description alone was good enough and I didn't bother looking at the pictures. This park was soooooo nice. They've got an outdoor gym, a softball field, a huge playground, two bocce ball courts, a small picnic area, and a dog park across the parking lot. The facilities were so clean and so well maintained. The bathrooms were better than your average park bathrooms and had motion sensor faucets. I completely appreciate how well this park was designed. The dog park was super spacious and divided into two sections, one for small dogs and one for large large dogs. The place looked clean and was well stocked with poop bags. Overall this is just a great park for everybody.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL PARK!!!…read more My son and I took our Crown Chicken orders to the park to eat on this brisk but sunny day. Neither of us had ever been. We pulled up and parked by the (very nice and clean) playground. Then we walked and talked and took photos on our way to the first bench that we came to. Friendly ducks came right up to us while we were chowing down. We put some lettuce and rice on the ground for them. We then proceeded walk around the beautiful lake, taking many pictures as we went along. Others were walking, running, and fishing. We all were all making the most of this lovely Spring day! What a pleasant one in April :) Definitely coming back to this hidden gem of a park!
