2013 Park Events Guide

Camden Waterfront

CAMDEN WATERFRONT The Camden Waterfront is one of South Jersey’s premiere outdoor destinations.

Conveniently located across from Penn’s Landing, Philadelphia, the Camden Waterfront is home to attractions and special events that offer year-round activities for the whole family.

With breathtaking views of the Philadelphia skyline, patrons can visit the many world class attractions—including Adventure Aquarium, Campbell’s Field, and Battleship New Jersey— catch a concert, experience local art exhibits, and enjoy time outside at special events, such as the annual Independence Day and New Years Eve fireworks shows.

Getting to the Camden Waterfront is easy and quick! In addition to driving, there are a number of ways to visit the Camden Waterfront via public transit. Riding the RiverLINE, RiverLink Ferry, or PATCO provide efficient, affordable, and hassle-free alternatives to driving to the Waterfront this summer.

Camden County is completing construction of a fully accessible, state of the art recreation field at Challenge Grove Park in Cherry Hill.

The Boundless Field will provide children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities the opportunity to play on the same recreational surface as their non-disabled friends.

The beautiful new facility will provide a variety of opportunities for disabled children to play baseball, soccer, volleyball, lacrosse, badminton and many more activities.

This facility will be a perfect complement to Jake’s Place, an accessible playground in the same park, and add another important piece to the award-winning Challenge Grove Park. It will unite families and provide children and adults with enjoyment every day. A ribbon cutting is planned for early summer.
