GI#24 Revised 5/25/2018

The 25 acre Gateway Park, located within the Marlton

neighborhood, is roughly bordered by Admiral Wilson

Boulevard (US Route 30) to the north (linking Philadelphia

and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge to US Route 130), the

Pub Restaurant to the east, and Cooper River to the south

and west. The park is located across the Cooper River

from Farnham Park (Camden City’s largest park) and New

Camden Park (a county park). A short distance from

Gateway Park are Camden County Golf Academy and

Cooper River Park, the county’s most heavily visited

parks. Two large rain gardens manage stormwater issues, and two large bioswales and some

wildflower meadows have been installed. This rain garden helps to mitigate nuisance flooding in

the area and reduces nonpoint source pollution and stormwater that would otherwise discharge

into the City of Camden’s combined sewer system. The initial completion date of the Gateway

Park rain garden was June 2014. The rain garden captures 221,0000 gallons of stormwater per

year. A rubble border has been added to the rain garden site in June 2017.
