Bike Ride Along Merchantville Rail Trail Held On June 17
The Pennsauken Environmental Commission and the Pennsauken Bike Share program are sponsoring a bike ride along the Merchantville Rail Trail on Saturday, June 17. Starting at 9:00 a.m. at the gazebo along the trail at Centre St. and Chestnut Ave., the ride showcases the Township’s Bike Share program, which allows adult residents to obtain bicycles for use throughout the year. The event will also highlight efforts to expand the current one-mile trail into Pennsauken in both directions.
Participants can bring their own bicycles or ride one of about 20 adult bikes made available by the Bike Share program for the day of the ride.
Bike sharing programs had their start in Europe in the 1960s and gained popularity in America in the mid-2000s. Bikes from Pennsauken’s Bike Share program are used bicycles donated by residents throughout Camden County that have been refurbished by volunteers of the Camden County Bike Share program in Cherry Hill.

The Pennsauken Environmental Commission is sponsoring a clean-up day at Tippin’s Pond and Heritage Park, 419 Cove Rd., Pennsauken, on Saturday, Sept. 19.
Volunteers will be picking up trash and cleaning brush from the nature trails, fishing dock and pond. Children are allowed to participate as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Gloves will be provided, but they are one size fits all, so bringing personal work gloves for youngsters is recommended. Since the pond and riverfront areas will be wet and the wooded area uneven, proper footwear is a must. The Commission also recommends wearing long pants to protect against the undergrowth. And a hat is never a bad idea.
This is a wonderful opportunity for residents, particularly young people, to realize the importance of keeping Pennsauken Township, and its green spaces, clean.
