David Douglass Sr. Memorial Park — Attraction in Lower Township

UPDATE: Two brand new, large portable toilets were delivered in late...

Great place to come and see the ferry. It is always clean here, and great to have kids and have a nice picnic. Lots of parking, but come early to get a spot! It gets packed easily since it’s so nice. Lots of boats go in and out of the canal as well during the summer. Saw some dolphin today! There’s a bathroom down the road that’s open to the public but there’s not one directly at the park itself. There’s no playground either, I’ve been coming here as a kid, never seen one. I’ve seen people bring their dogs too, but keep...
