At the corner of Cottman and Central visitors will find Burholme Park, on the grounds of which lies the Robert W. Ryerss Library and Museum. The park, library, and museum offer local residents and out-of-town guests a place to view the collection of books and artifacts, have a picnic on the lawn, or play a game of baseball, football, or soccer on one of the park’s well-kept fields. A playground is available for young children and older children enjoy using the batting cages at the Burholme Golf & Family Entertainment Center. Golfers can take private lessons from PGA-certified instructors or practice their swing on the center’s driving range.
