About the Venue

Von Nieda Park Sprayground is a Camden County-operated water play area inside Von Nieda Park in Camden's Cramer Hill area. Official county information describes numerous showers and spray jets designed to help kids cool off during hot summer days, while the surrounding park adds a playground, basketball courts, ballfields, and a bike path for a fuller outing. This is a better fit for families looking for a free neighborhood splash stop than for anyone wanting a staffed pool or big water-play structures.
