TAP into Camden

East Camden resident Maritza Camacho said that her and her family would travel to Cooper River Park in Pennsauken to enjoy the outdoors together rather than crossing the street to Alberta Woods Park because she felt it was unsafe.
Now, after a $775,000 renovation from Camden County, Alberta Woods Park is once again a “neighborhood park to enjoy together as a family,” Camacho said.
On Wednesday, county and city officials were joined by the park’s neighbors and students from the neighborhood’s Mastery McGraw Elementary School to unveil the transformation of a park once blighted by crime and debris to a bright and brand new open space.
