Greenway Segment Completed Between Route 130 and Kaighn Avenue
In 2015, Camden County, with assistance from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), the NJ Recreational Trails Grant Program and Camden Greenways Inc., completed a crucial 0.38 mile trail segment between Kaighns Avenue and Route 130 in Pennsauken. This completed trail segment moves us closer to the goal of an off-road connection between Cooper River Park and Gateway Park.
Negotiations between the County and owners of the PUB restaurant on a trail easement behind the restaurant are progressing and it is anticipated that funds will be made available through the DVRPC to design this final trail segment and facilitate construction. Once constructed, the connection between the two parks will be complete and a continuous 4.5+ mile off-road trail between the Speedway Gas Station in Camden and Challenge Grove Park in Cherry Hill will become a reality. This trail is part of the larger Bi-State Circuit trail network.
