The William Wilt Soccer Complex in Mullica Hill features wide soccer and lacrosse fields plus a playground, offering lots of open green space. When games are not running, the expansive fields make a calm spot for movement and play. It is a simple, free place to let energy out. (162 Walters Rd, Mullica Hill, NJ 08062) With a little planning, a visit can be a calm, joyful day for an autistic child. Here is a sensory-friendly guide from our BCBA-led team — what to expect, the quietest times to go, and how to prepare.
The best time to visit
Ask the venue about quieter days or low-sensory hours, and aim for weekday mornings when no games are scheduled when crowds are thinnest. Confirm hours on the official site before you go.
What to expect
Outside of scheduled games, the complex is quiet and open, with natural sights and sounds and plenty of room to spread out. On game days it can get crowded and noisy with spectators. Visit on a weekday morning when the fields are empty for the most peaceful experience.
A few things your child may enjoy:
- Large open playing fields
- Playground
- Walking paths
How to prepare your child
- Preview it. Look at photos or a map together beforehand so the visit feels predictable (a simple “social story”).
- Use “first–then.” “First we look around, then we get a snack.”
- Pack comfort items — noise-canceling headphones, a favorite fidget, water, and a familiar snack.
- Plan a quiet exit — pick a calm spot for a break if your child gets overwhelmed.
How ABA therapy makes outings like this easier
Community trips are exactly where ABA skills pay off. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) can help your child practice the very skills a visit to William Wilt Soccer Complex demands — waiting, transitioning between activities, asking for a break, staying close in crowds, and tolerating new sights and sounds. At Autumn ABA, our community-based and natural-environment sessions build these skills in the real settings where they matter. Many Gloucester County families work on exactly these goals so days out become something to look forward to. Learn more about our in-home, school, community, and telehealth ABA programs.
