Laurel Acres Park

Terrible dog park. There are never any dogs there. To make it worse, in the heat of the summer there is no shade in the park but there are trees just outside of the entrance and benches. No one picks up after their dogs here, which is odd because I never see any dogs here… Save yourself the time and go to Freedom park just down the road. As for the park itself, it’s actually quite nice.

It’s a quaint park with a nice playground for the kids and you can fish there, since they keep the lake stocked. It has bathrooms and a walking area. It was enjoyable.

We have our annual office picnic here. This is a really nice park. There are 3 different playground sets so there is plenty to keep the kids busy. My three year old niece was in heaven. There’s a nice pond and plenty of parking and lots of grass. Theres a covered picnic area. Bathrooms are nice (well a lot nicer than park bathrooms you will find in Philly.)

The park and the sporting complex by themselves are great, but the maniac geese and the terrible bathroom do take away from the aesthetic awesomeness of the park

I was quite disappointed with this dog park most due to the fact that there is so much land but the dog space was tiny and there are never any dogs there for my puggle to interact with when he goes.
It’s a nice space for a walk but for dogs who just like to be free like mine in a huge open space then no !

Excellent park for dogs!!! Not only is there a huge pond with a paved walkway all around, but there are 2 fenced in parks (one for small dogs, another for large dogs, AND there is also a wooded trail as well. Also there’s a huge hill here and I loved making my dog play catch on it to help expend his energy running up and down. Large open areas here as well for running around, playing fetch. Park also has a big playground for kids, as well as a sandy volleyball net! Will definitely be using this park as my go-​to for my dog — wish I had known about it sooner!

I enjoy the dog park area at Laurel Acres Park. It’s fenced off with an area for large dogs and an area for small ones. Most dog owners are respectful with well behaved dogs. I find this a lot less overwhelming than Freedom Acres where loose dogs are zipping around at all times without any owners nearby. This is a lot more calm and everyone is there to control his/​her dog. Thumbs up!

Great park!
We went there a lot when our son was little. He’s in his 20’s now. They have lots of space with a wonderful lake and play areas for the kids. There are of course shelters and areas for grilling. Bathrooms are present but not all that clean but hey, it’s not a restaurant. There are woodsy areas to walk in. Several baseball fields. Sometimes there are remote control sailboat races in the lake, which are wonderful to watch. There’s a giant hill you can fly kites off of or roll down just for fun. They host all kinds of events. One thing I didn’t like was that there are do many ducks and geese that walkways are littered with their droppings. If you ride a bike or jog along the trail (and jogging is scenic but difficult when there are the little kids in the bikes there) you get goose poop sprayed all up your back.

I wish I could pick up the entirety of this park and plop it next to my apartment complex. Laurel Acres ranks among my favorite parks in South Jersey, by far. Gorgeous lake, random-​and-​huge hill, adorable dogs in the dog park, sprawling walking paths. So many photo-​taking opportunities. (Or, I guess, exercising opportunities.) What more could you want?
Aside from (obviously) in the winter, you can be sure to find plenty of people enjoying Mt. Laurel’s greatest asset — in one way or another!

Oh man we just love this place, this is the only decent park around mt laurel, marlton area, It has it all — 3 soccer fields, 5 baseball fields, walking trails (one in the woods), sledding hill, volleyball, playgrounds, fishing, nature, and even a dog. My 4 years old and 1 year old totally love it.

We came for the dog park. It is very well kept and seems to be family-​oriented. The dog areas are separated according to size. The dog owners are normally respecting towards you and your dog and shew their dog away if they are bothering you or your dog. There are also picnic tables so you can make a day of it and bring lunch as well.

A nice little pond. I was hoping for a bigger hill and park based on reviews. It was actually quite small. Ran a number of laps, including the gravel path, and got bored after 5 miles. Not ideal for a good run but nice for a walk.

This park is a great place to hold almost any type of party… especially children’s birthday parties. The pavillion is very nice and you can reserve it for a reasonable fee. You can rent the whole or half the pavillion and they have grills that can be used. Bathrooms are also accessible. It has a lake in the center so you do have to keep an eye on the younger ones from wanting to go in for a dip. The play ground is spread out and has enough for every child, young or old.

I have used this Park in the past, with my trainer, near my condo, it is great place for my prowler & boot camp work outs. Though they had problems with Canadian Geese leaving their fecal matter everywhere, they also have tents set up for parties, etc. I went here couple years back for kids b-​day party, quite nice. They have this hill you can go up & it gets quite steep, use yr equipment, Kettle-​bells for farmers walk„ gotta get back there again.

I have a very love/​hate relationship with this park. The center boasts an enormous hill. Perfect for sledding… or torturing your body into summer-​ready shape.
For the past few years, I’ve been taking bootcamp classes on and off with Michele Held, a certified fitness instructor, roughly once a week on average. Michelle is 50 years old, has four kids, and is in better physical shape than any other woman I personally know. Each spring through early fall, Michele holds bootcamp classes at Laurel Acres. It’s an hour of nonstop cardio and weight-​training, including (of course) the hill, which she affectionately refers to as «the mountain.»
The hill itself is steep and unforgiving. There is a long staircase on the left side as you face the hill — perfect for running, lunges and other torture. There are benches at the top of the hill that provide a lovely view of the park — also great for squats and tricep dips.
There are also running trails, a lake, playgrounds and other traditional park fixtures. I mostly think of the park with feelings of dread, but it’s actually a very pretty place when bootcamp doesn’t come into play.
