West Collingswood Heights: Parks, Sports and Play

Robert Krupinski Sr. Memorial Park

You can get to know West Collingswood Heights through Robert Krupinski Sr. Memorial Park and its specific recreational features. The fields were used for municipal sporting events; the playground was designed for children aged two to five. Thus, this same recreation spot brings together sports-related use and a former playground design. For planning your vacation, this contrast is a useful starting point when weighing which activities you would like to make room for.

In 2016, the Township used the park’s fields for sporting events in flag football, softball, lacrosse, and soccer. That same year, a storage facility was built there where teams could store their sports equipment in the park. ADA-accessible public restrooms were also built for athletes, spectators, and residents. Check the current condition of these park facilities before your visit.

The former playground design was intended for children aged two to five. It included swings, climbing equipment, a seesaw, a bench, and a rubber mulch surface. For families with young children, the age range offers a specific point of reference; check the playground’s current age suitability and condition before your visit.

Community Offerings in Haddon Township

At the community level, Crystal Lake Pool at the Richard C. Hardenbergh Recreation Center adds to recreational planning in Haddon Township. Facilities include a 25-meter pool, a wading pool designed specifically for small children, and a splash pool. There is also a playground, picnic tables, extensive lawns, and a clubhouse with lockers and showers; the facility also has a terrace with food service. The different types of water areas can be a specific planning consideration for families: Is a 25-meter pool important to you, or would you prefer a water feature specifically for small children? Since it operates seasonally, check its hours before your trip.

Haddon Township’s annual fall festival combines a street fair with a music festival by the lake. If you’re traveling in the fall, factor both festival events into your itinerary and check the current dates and program before your trip.

Eligible residents can use Haddon Township’s Haddon Towncar. It provides free rides to shopping and recreational facilities operated by the Township’s Board of Commissioners. Eligible riders include Haddon Township residents aged 60 and older, as well as residents recognized as having a disability. Confirm eligibility and service availability before relying on it; this is not a general service for all visitors. For reference, Haddon Township is eight miles from Philadelphia and has its own PATCO station.
