Cinnaminson is a genuinely family-friendly town, and there is no shortage of things to do with kids here. Between a large township park with a big playground, youth sports leagues that start as young as age three, a library with children's programming, and indoor entertainment within a short drive, families can fill every season. This guide pulls together the best kid-focused activities in Cinnaminson and the nearby towns, so you know where to go on a sunny Saturday, a rainy afternoon, or a warm summer evening.
I have spent years helping families buy and sell homes throughout Burlington County, and Cinnaminson stands out for how much it offers families without a long drive. The sections below cover parks and playgrounds, youth sports, indoor rainy-day options, the library, ice cream stops, swim clubs, and the community events that bring everyone together.
What Are the Best Parks and Playgrounds for Kids in Cinnaminson?
Memorial Park is the clear favorite for families. It is the township's largest park at about 68.5 acres, located at Lenola Road and Fork Landing Road, and it packs a lot into one place: eight baseball fields, two soccer fields, a bocce court, a hockey rink, an exercise and sledding hill, a roughly three-quarter-mile walking path, and a large playground. A newer concession and bathroom building makes it easy to spend a full afternoon there. In the winter, the sledding hill is a neighborhood favorite.
Wood Park at 900 Pomona Road is the other anchor, with open green space, sports fields, and the venues for many township events like Community Day and the Fall Festival. Cinnaminson also has five smaller pocket parks scattered through the neighborhoods: Garfield, Fountain, Ravenswood, Extension, and East Riverton. For a nature walk, the Taylor Wildlife Preserve along the Delaware River offers about 85 acres of trails through marsh, pineland, forest, and river shore. For the full rundown of green spaces, our things to do in Cinnaminson guide and the best parks in Cinnaminson post go into more detail.
What Youth Sports Leagues Are Available in Cinnaminson?
Cinnaminson has a strong and welcoming youth sports scene. The Cinnaminson Soccer Club offers recreation soccer starting at age three and travel teams from U-8, and it is now powered by NY Red Bulls Youth Programs. Cinnaminson Baseball runs leagues for ages 5 through 15, the Cinnaminson Basketball Group covers in-town play from a first-grade clinic through eighth grade with travel teams in fifth through eighth, and Cinnaminson Girls Field Hockey serves grades K through 8.
The township also offers summer tennis lessons for ages 5 and up at Wood Park, and private providers like USA Sport Group and Sports Squirts run camps and classes in the township for kids as young as 18 months up to age 14 in soccer, tennis, T-ball, and multi-sport. In other words, there is a league or class for nearly every age and interest, which is a big reason families settle here. If you are weighing a move, the neighborhood guide can help you find a home close to the fields and parks your kids will use most.
What Indoor Activities Are Good for Rainy Days in Cinnaminson?
When the weather does not cooperate, there are plenty of indoor options close by. K1 Speed Cinnaminson at 1103 Route 130 has indoor electric go-kart racing for adults and juniors plus an arcade, and it is right in town. Funzilla Delran at 5029 Route 130 is a short drive for family entertainment, and Sky Zone at 2834 Route 73 in Maple Shade is a trampoline park within minutes.
Farther out, The Funplex at 3320 Route 38 in Mount Laurel adds arcade games, rides, and the Splashplex waterpark, and Star Park at the Cherry Hill Mall offers indoor playground fun for younger kids. For a classic rainy-day outing, bowling is easy to reach at Laurel Lanes in Maple Shade or Pinsetter Bar & Bowl in Merchantville. These are all within about a 15 to 20 minute drive of Cinnaminson, which makes a rainy Saturday manageable.
What Does the Cinnaminson Library Offer for Children and Teens?
The Cinnaminson Library at 119 Riverton Road is a quiet, free resource for families. It runs children's programming as well as tween and teen programs for grade 4 and up, and storytime is a popular way to spend a morning with younger kids. Book clubs, seasonal activities, and community programs round out the calendar. It is an especially good option on a cold or rainy day, and it is a short walk or drive from most neighborhoods in town.
Where Can Families Get Ice Cream in Cinnaminson?
Every family guide needs an ice cream stop, and Cinnaminson has good ones. Rita's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard at 1811 Cinnaminson Avenue is right in town, and Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers at 1107 Route 130 serves custard year round. For an old-fashioned scoop shop, Nellie Bly's Olde Tyme Ice Cream Parlour at 529 Main Street in neighboring Riverton is a local favorite, though it is seasonal and typically closes for the year in mid-October. An ice cream run after a game at Memorial Park or a summer concert at Wood Park is a classic Cinnaminson evening.
Are There Swim Clubs in Cinnaminson for Kids?
Swim clubs anchor the Cinnaminson summer. Pomona Swim Club at 806 Pomona Road sits on about five wooded acres, and Pheasant Run Swim Club at 2912 New Albany Road has a 25-meter heated lap pool, a baby pool with an enclosed playground, a diving area, and a pavilion, and it fields a Tri-County swim team. Both typically run from roughly Memorial Day through Labor Day, which is how many Cinnaminson kids spend their July mornings. Our hidden gems in Cinnaminson post covers the swim clubs and other local favorites in more depth.
What Family Events Does Cinnaminson Host Throughout the Year?
Cinnaminson's community calendar is full of family-friendly events. Community Day takes place at Wood Park in May with food, music, and family activities, and the Summer Concert Series runs from June through August at local parks. The Fall Festival is held in October with live music, food trucks, kids' activities, and fireworks, and Winterfest brings holiday activities to Cinnaminson High School in December. The township also holds a town-wide yard sale in late May. For the full picture, the community events calendar is the best place to plan ahead.
These events are part of what makes Cinnaminson feel like a real community rather than just a collection of houses. When a town puts on a festival with fireworks for its residents, it tells you a lot about how families are treated here. If you are researching a move, I would encourage you to come see the town in person, ideally during one of these events. The about Cinnaminson page covers the broader picture of schools, community, and location.
