About Millcreek Park
Millcreek is the flagship of Willingboro's park system, more than 180 acres of woods and open space beside the creek it is named for. The township bought it in 1973 with a Green Acres open space grant from the state, and at the time it was considered the largest municipal park in New Jersey and one of the largest in the country. The Rancocas Creek that runs behind the park makes a pretty backdrop.
A two mile macadam bike path and a two and a half mile wood chip nature and hiking trail run through it, with a cross-training circuit, a stocked fishing pond, two playgrounds, four picnic pavilions, soccer fields, a softball field and eight lighted tennis courts. In snow the large sled hill is the draw.
