Reviews
A nice park to visit on your way to the waterfront area in Camden!
Not much too see, but if you pass by can have a stop
A nice quiet park that I tend to spend a lot of time at before and after work. From time to time I see security patrolling the park and maintenance keeping it clean. It is a really nice shady spot to sit down on a cool day and read a book. It is also conveniently located only a few blocks from the riverfront and freedom pavilion that host concerts.
I love this place if I miss my bus I will wait there. Gorgeous artwork and historical foundation ✨ benches to sit. That area is really getting better 😃.
The Rutgers Camden campus includes this lovely park that’s just a few blocks from the waterfront and ferry access. It features 5 sculptures inspired by fairy tales, including a Peter Pan sculpture you can walk around. Popular spot for event and graduation photographs.There are park benches and the reflecting pool was filled when we visited. The park was built 1914-1930 with financial support from Eldridge Johnson, inventor of the Victor the victrola (talking machine). The RCO factory building is near by.
