CAMDEN COUNTY, N.J. – The Clementon Police Department is urging residents and visitors to stay away from the closed Clementon Park & Splash World water park in South Jersey. The warning follows a social‑media post that encouraged people to break into the shuttered amusement facility.
Police increase patrols
Police officials said they will step up patrols around the property throughout the weekend to deter any unlawful entry. Officers will be stationed at the park’s entrances and will monitor surrounding streets for suspicious activity.
Property remains maintained
Although the park is no longer open to the public, the owners continue to maintain the grounds and have hired private security to guard the site. The water‑park is currently listed for sale, but it remains under regular upkeep to prevent vandalism and safety hazards.
Consequences for trespassers
Anyone caught trespassing on the premises will be arrested and prosecuted under New Jersey law. The police department emphasized that the park’s closure does not give anyone the right to enter the property without permission.
Community safety reminder
Local officials reminded the community that respecting private property is a cornerstone of safe neighborhoods. They encouraged residents to report any suspicious activity near the park to the Clementon Police Department by calling 555‑123‑4567.
Background on the park
Clementon Park & Splash World has been a popular summer destination for families in Camden County for years. The facility closed its gates earlier this year while the owners explore options for a future sale. Until a new owner is secured, the site will remain closed to the public.
What to do if you see illegal activity
If you witness individuals attempting to break into the park, do not intervene. Instead, contact law enforcement immediately. Prompt reporting helps officers respond quickly and keeps the community safe.
