Over the last two decades, Connolly Park has evolved into a popular gathering place for the Voorhees
Community.
Located along Centennial Boulevard, this 49-acre oasis, acquired by the Township in 2001, includes a
half-mile lit walking and jogging track with a workout station with a circuit of eight pieces of
workout equipment.
There are two picnic pavilions and one gazebo. All three have six covered picnic tables. One picnic
pavilion is next to the playground and one is next to the cricket pitch. The covered gazebo is next to
the great lawn and dog park.
There are two playgrounds with swings at Connolly, one of which was a community build.
The workout station, and the two picnic pavilions were purchased with the help of the Camden
County Recreation Facilities Grant.
A community playground was installed in 2010 and new picnic tables have been added to the park.
A couple of years ago, the open-air picnic pavilion on the upper level adjacent to the community
playground was enlarged, providing protection from the sun and rain. The pavilion nearest to the
Cricket Pitch was rebuilt in 2022 thanks to a county grant.
Connolly Park is also the venue for our annual Summer Concert Series.
Connolly Park offers two enclosed dog runs, one for large dogs and one for small dogs, with nearby
water fountains and pet waste bag dispensers. Picnic tables and park benches were added in 2022
inside each dog run. The park is open every day from dawn until dusk.
To ensure the safety of our residents enjoying Connolly Park and throughout our community, Township
Ordinance 92.21 mandates that no dog or cat shall run at large. Dogs must be on a leash and controlled
while walking to and from the dog park. Ordinance 92.22 requires that the dog’s owner must be able
to control the animal when on a leash.
Dogs are not permitted to run free anywhere in the township except when in the gated dog parks
and only when accompanied by their owner. If dogs or cats are seen roaming unattended, call the
police non-emergency number at (856) 428-5400. If the animal appears dangerous or poses a
threat, call 911.
All dogs and cats residing in Voorhees must be licensed. For information about such licenses,
contact the Township Clerk at (856) 429-7757 or visit our web page at voorheesnj.com.
To report maintenance issues at Connolly Park or any of our parks, call (856) 428-5499 or email
