Confirmed from Haddon Lake Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Waterside park featuring walking trails, playgrounds and fishing spots.
What runners say about Haddon Lake Park
“Beautiful views of the water, great outdoor spaces for kids to be active/play, safe trails for joggers, & the grounds are very well kept.”
That’s my favorite park nearby home!!!!! They have three more parks if you keep walking toward the traffic lights 🚦 I highly recommend to you if you just wanna go whether you’re a runner 🏃🏻♀️ or just to still your mind! 🤗
This is my favorite nearby park. There is a paved one mile loop, a playground and it continues on if you cross the street where there is another playground and stage. If you continue up to station ave there is a little war memorial. I believe they’re currently building a bathroom as well at the prospect ridge end.
I commute to Camden 6 out of 7 days, with a small child in tow. This park is the silver lining to what is other wise, a very bleak & dreary landscape. It is a little oasis to what's in my opinion, a surrounding area, pretty much void of any kid friendly spaces.
Nice little park. The path goes all the way around the lake and it’s almost exactly one mile, so that’s convenient. There is also a nice playground for the children. Plenty of benches to just sit and enjoy the lake or the wildlife.
