Nice place in late winter. Walk along a creek/river, the Cooper. Quiet, didnt see much wildlife, birds were all. Want yo stop by again in spring and summer to see more vegetation. There is an actual farm but small with a garden. There is also a swimming hole with a rope swing. Cool.

Barclay Farmstead is a nice farm with lots of history behind it. Our tour guide Betty was great. She explained each item in this lovely house in detail. I really got a feel for how things were back then. Ill definitely be back and Oh schedule tour to view Quakers home in advance no fee required, but donations are welcomed

I discovered this park organically. While walking around the area playing Pokemon go. It is a gorgeous park with a playground and plenty of nature trails. Surrounding the park is a lovely community garden. Daily you can see people working diligently on there plants. Great place to take the family for a picnic or just if you need to get away and have some time to yourself. A must visit if you are in the area.

What a great tour! Really enjoyed learning about the weaving with flax and moving farm goods to market on the branch of the Cooper River. Beautiful house and gardens.

I was excited to try the Barclay Farmstead after going passed the sign for it dozens of times. It is relatively easy to find, and the entrance leaves you right into the main parking lot in front of the Barclay House. I went there in the summer, and the first part of the grounds were taken up by a huge garden with so many different kinds of flowers,and even Apple trees. There was a very small playground behind the gardens that the kids there seemed to enjoy. When I was there,the house was closed,so I did not get to take a tour of it. I was most excited to check out the trails,because I have spent my life trying out and discovering trails in all parts of NJ. The first trail I tried was the one on the edge of the park,furthest away from the house. I was disappointed by the fact that a couple feet in,the trail was so overgrown with thicket,weeds,and stickers,that you could not go in any further. I tried the rest of the trails, and found them to be plain,with some litter spread throughout. I was quite surprised with the lack of upkeep because this is a small space, and one of very few in the Cherry Hill/Camden County area of its kind. Perhaps I went there in a time of major transition; but I regret the fact that I have to say,that I would tell someone to go elsewhere if they asked about it.
