I had been going to Clementon Park for over 20 yea...

I had been going to Clementon Park for over 20 years and found it a great place to spend a day with family. Unlike Six Flags and other local amusements parks, Clementon had picnic areas and allowed you to bring in coolers, picnic baskets, and they provided grills at no extra charge. It's not a large park, but that's what was so charming about it...Parents and grandparents could find a nice spot in the shade and let the kids/grand-kids go off and ride without fear of them getting lost, etc.

Since adding the wave pool to the park, many things have changed dramatically. You now have to pay for parking($10), when for the past 20+ years it was free. I don't mind that so much, but now you cannot bring in coolers?! You have to either pay an extra $14.99 for a max group of 6 people or you have to have purchased a group rate for 20+ people 2 weeks in advance.

The park is now way too crowded/congested, not as clean as it once was, and is too expensive to be worth the small amount of rides that they do have. Instead of keeping that old Clementon Park charm, they seem to be going in a completely different direction. A direction that, unfortunately, I will no longer be visiting to witness.
