I thought this was about where to go to see the fireworks. It was more of a list of places having fireworks. I know when the Borgata had theirs a lot of people went to the parking lot of Home Depot in Absecon.

I wish they would bring back the fireworks at Cooper River Park. The concert is not necessary. But the fireworks were always great and should be brought back. The Cooper River Park is a perfect place for families to view fireworks displays. And on the Collingswood/Haddon Township side of the river, there was never any problem. Only the Pennsauken side had problems --- and that was because of the all day concert that attracted a lot of bad element. And the concert always delayed the fireworks so that many children got too tired and some families had to go home without seeing the fireworks. SO BRING BACK THE FIREWORKS - BUT NO CONCERT.

Maple Shade puts on a really nice display...went to them for years. Also, have to agree with Frank..Medford's display at Freedom Park is pretty awesome. They have a live band with a festival atmosphere!

Kathleen,
You are correct, it is Woodland Middle School. I have updated the article to show the correct spelling of the middle school. Thank you for bringing it to my attention and my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

What happened to the fireworks at the park behind shop rite in Winslow? Why do the people in Erial, pine hill etc. have to drive all over to go see fireworks? I don't want to go down the shore, or to Philly! It would be nice to see them in my own town!!!!
