Visiting West Deptford Township

West Deptford is more of a recreation, golf, family-visit and business-travel destination than a traditional downtown getaway. The Delaware River side of town is the standout: RiverWinds combines community recreation, golf, tennis, dining and skyline views, while I-295 makes the township convenient to Philadelphia and South Jersey destinations.

Nearby attraction: Red Bank Battlefield Park

Municipal boundary: Red Bank Battlefield Park is in the Borough of National Park, immediately beside West Deptford—not inside the township. It is a useful nearby historic stop, but NJTGO does not count it as a West Deptford attraction.
