National Park

County: Gloucester

Enjoying a prime location in close proximity to Interstate 295, the residential community of National Park grew up along the rolling Delaware River. Residents enjoy an easy commute to nearby Philadelphia, although many take advantage of the increasing opportunities for employment in nearby commercial and industrial centers. National Park, influenced by yesterday's sandy beaches and clear Delaware River waters, was characterized as a resort town for many years. Today, the community offers a wide range of housing in tree-shaded neighborhoods and a quiet, hometown atmosphere. The quaint shops of nearby Woodbury are convenient, and boating is still a popular sport on Timber Creek. The boroughs also offer parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, tennis courts, and many social and sports organizations.
