Clementon Park and Splash World is a combined amusement park and water park in Clementon, Camden County, New Jersey, USA. It is expected to reopen in 2021.[1]
History
Clementon Park was acquired by Premier Parks in 2011.[2]
The final day of operation was September 8, 2019. The closure was unannounced, with guests arriving for a customer appreciation day on September 15 to find the park closed. No formal announcement was made, and the park's social media accounts were taken offline around this time.[3][4]
The park was purchased at auction in March 2021 for $2.6 million by the owners of Indiana Beach. It was also offered for sale as individual attractions, however the winning bid for the park as a whole was greater than the combined bids for its individual assets.[1] The park partially reopened in June, with the water park fully open and a selection of amusement rides operating.[5]
