Barton Run is a tributary of the Southwest Branch Rancocas Creek

Evesham Township is proud to announce that the municipality has successfully secured a $405,000 grant from the New Jersey Green Acres Program (under the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection) to fund the acquisition and permanent preservation of the former Barton Run Swim Club property on Lakeside Drive.

The grant will cover up to half of the total acquisition cost, with Evesham Township having already budgeted the remaining funds required to complete the purchase.

Evesham Township Council also formally authorized a Letter of Intent (LOI) at Council’s most recent meeting that memorializes the agreement between Evesham and the current owner for the sale and purchase of the property to be preserved as open space.

"This is great news for the residents of Barton Run and the entire Evesham community," Mayor Jackie Veasy said. "By securing this Green Acres funding and approving this Letter of Intent, we are protecting the neighborhood from further development and creating new open space for the public to enjoy. Once the land is under municipal ownership, the Township will ensure its safe upkeep and long-term care."

The agreement also outlines the current owner's responsibility for fully removing the former swim club building and infilling the old pool areas as part of the sale.

The final layout and amenities of the future neighborhood park will be determined through a collaborative process driven by local residents, focusing on passive open space and other suitable community features.

The Township will announce meeting details in the future, after the acquisition process is finalized and formal closing proceedings on the property are completed.

Amico Island Burlington County Park, at the confluence of the Rancocas Creek and the Delaware River, has reopened following the tragic drowning of a heroic woman who saved a young girl.
The county has erected temporary barriers and caution tape at all River access points specifying no swimming and warning of dangerous currents.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected.
