Fees eliminated in county parks
The Camden County Parks Department will no longer collect fees from county residents for the use of athletic fields or picnic areas.
“The Freeholder Board encourages everyone to take advantage of the facilities in Camden County’s Parks,” said Freeholder Jeffrey L. Nash, the seven-member board’s liaison to the Parks Department. “By allowing individuals to reserve a picnic pavilion or ball field at no charge, we hope that more families will enjoy all that Camden County’s parks have to offer.”
Many Camden County Parks have facilities that can be reserved, including baseball fields, volleyball courts and picnic groves. For a complete list of Camden County Parks and their amenities, visit http://www.camdencounty.com/parks
Camden County residents will continue to be asked to apply for park use permits to ensure the facilities they are requesting are available, but the fees will no longer apply to residents. To obtain a park use permit, call the Camden County Parks Department at (856) 216–2173.
