GI#56 Revised 5/25/2018

Phoenix Park is a 5 acre riverfront park created for the residents

of South Camden located within Camden’s Waterfront South

neighborhood. 227 Jefferson Street used to be an abandoned

industrial property that was purchased by CCMUA by way of an

Open Space grant provided by Camden County. The property

now includes a replaced asphalt roadway, a number of

wildflower meadows, porous pavement and a number of newly planted trees, all of which assist in

capturing, treating, and infiltrating stormwater. Phoenix Park 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. Phoenix Park captures 5,000,000 gallons of

stormwater per year. Phoenix Park captures 1,000,000 gallons of stormwater per year. Phase 2 of

Phoenix Park was completed in November 2017.
