About Cooper River Park

Cooper River Park is a Camden County park of about 346 acres spanning parts of Pennsauken, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, and Haddon Township. Its grounds include a children's playground, softball fields, a cross country course, a boathouse, a golf academy, and a yacht club offering sailing lessons. Cyclists can use loops of about 3.8 miles and 1.35 miles, and visitors can fish, picnic, or bring dogs to a dedicated pooch park. The river's straight course is well suited to rowing competitions, and the park also has a sculpture garden, a memorial grove, and a bocce court.
