==Geography== According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the borough had a total area of 1.95 square miles (5.05 km<sup>2</sup>), including 1.89 square miles (4.90 km<sup>2</sup>) of land and 0.06 square miles (0.15 km<sup>2</sup>) of water (2.97%).<ref name=CensusArea/><ref name=GR1 /> The borough is located on Clementon Lake, which is the site of the [[Clementon Amusement Park]]. The amusement park was home to the Jack Rabbit, a wooden roller coaster constructed in 1919 by the [[Philadelphia Toboggan Company]]. Though quite tame in comparison to modern steel coasters, it remained popular with park visitors. It was one of the oldest remaining coasters in the country when it was taken out of service in 2002<ref>Staff.
