Wellwood Memorial Park
This park is just a few blocks east of Route 130 on Maple Avenue between Linden and Hamilton Avenues in Merchantville NJ. The park has acres of improved greenspace and includes two tennis courts, a softball field, a playground, gazebo and snack stand. A series of six evening concerts titled "Wednesday's in Wellwood" and an art program for children called "Art in the Park" take place each July and August and are co-sponsored by the Borough of Merchantville, The Camden County Cultural Arts Commission, The NPP, Rotary and The MBPA.
There is also a WWI monument there and a stone dedicated to two members of The Sons And Daughters Of The Pilgrims who were serving in armed forces during WWII.
The Shade Tree Commission volunteers work to keep borough trees plentiful. Last year the sixth grade at Merchantville School planted seven Eastern Redbud trees at Wellwood Park. The trees were carefully transplanted from our nursery on West Chestnut.
