    It was a nice day to visit the Barclay Farmstead Museum. Monica pur tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history and was ready to answer questions. Paid $3 for entrance & tour but donations are welcome for the up keep of the museum.

    I discovered this park organically. While walking around the area playing Pokemon go. It is a gorgeous park with a playground and plenty of nature trails. Surrounding the park is a lovely community garden. Daily you can see people working diligently on there plants. Great place to take the family for a picnic or just if you need to get away and have some time to yourself. A must visit if you are in the area.

    I stopped by this location 3 nights for a concert in Cherry Hill. Had a nice time. I did not go into the building since it was not open. It is well maintained. Some historical information outside. Parking right at the location. There are trail behind where you can hike

    We came here to take family photos. The park was clean and well kept. There are nice walking paths, water, bridges, and plenty of nice photo opportunities. There is also a home that can be toured on a certain day of the week.

    I was excited to try the Barclay Farmstead after going passed the sign for it dozens of times. It is relatively easy to find, and the entrance leaves you right into the main parking lot in front of the Barclay House. I went there in the summer, and the first part of the grounds were taken up by a huge garden with so many different kinds of flowers,and even Apple trees. There was a very small playground behind the gardens that the kids there seemed to enjoy. When I was there,the house was closed,so I did not get to take a tour of it. I was most excited to check out the trails,because I have spent my life trying out and discovering trails in all parts of NJ. The first trail I tried was the one on the edge of the park,furthest away from the house. I was disappointed by the fact that a couple feet in,the trail was so overgrown with thicket,weeds,and stickers,that you could not go in any further. I tried the rest of the trails, and found them to be plain,with some litter spread throughout. I was quite surprised with the lack of upkeep because this is a small space, and one of very few in the Cherry Hill/Camden County area of its kind. Perhaps I went there in a time of major transition; but I regret the fact that I have to say,that I would tell someone to go elsewhere if they asked about it.

    Great park and surrounding area. Been here a couple times and it's never too busy. Lots of room to run, play, and explore.

    Nice place in late winter. Walk along a creek/river, the Cooper. Quiet, didnt see much wildlife, birds were all. Want yo stop by again in spring and summer to see more vegetation. There is an actual farm but small with a garden. There is also a swimming hole with a rope swing. Cool.

👍👍 This outing was my first experience at Bury the Hatchet. I was initially apprehensive, but had a phenomenal time with our couples group from The Family Church. Tamia was an awesome host and helped to facilitate a fantastic experience. My wife and I will definitely be coming back again. #TFC #Awesome...

👍👍 My son has Cerebral Palsy and gets such great Physical and Sensory Therapy at Jake's Place while having the time of his life. I'm so glad we found this playground. He especially loves the handicap swing. They are very quick in repairing anything if it's broken.

👍👍 The park is very nice and well kept. There are a lot of places for little ones to climb and swing. It was not over populated like most of the big parks that we go to. My daughter played on every single piece of equipment and didn’t want to leave.
