    This playground was recommended by my son's chiro's office. Just as a place to go, nothing chiro…read morespecial about it. There is a lot of large equipment, but not a whole lot of variety or imagination in the different interactive functions. Reeves Park's playground (Phoenixville), Smith Memorial Playground (Fairmount Park), Freedom Playground (Haverford), and Aston Twp's new playground all have really imaginitive stuff, and just as large of an expanse (if not larger). I also have to give props to the Reeves Park and Freedom playgrounds for being fenced in (Smith is, but it's so big, the fence is not as containing as it could be). Kids Dream is not fenced, unfortunately, because it is a layer of safety I always appreciate, for young kids who run, and also just to keep out wandering dogs (the ones on a long leash whose caretakers aren't paying attention) or to dissuade sketchy people from hanging around (sorry but they're everywhere). There is a nearby walking trail, and it's also adjacent to township offices (shared parking lot). I do have to comment that there was a bit of litter generally around, which is never okay for a kids' playground. Also, this playground is pretty crowded. Parents seemed adequately considerate, but honestly, all the abovementioned playgrounds had a better vibe to me. Maybe because this place was built up by my recommendation and the reviews, but it wasn't as great as my expectations (and comparative experiences).

    Fantastic playground!! Huge plenty of options of what to play on. Love it! Will be back for sure…read more Not far from the shopping areas. Conveniently located.

    * * * Mid-Oct 2019! * * * * * * NEWLY RENOVATED!!!…read more * * * NOW OPEN!!! * * * The Tot Lot just got a revamp, down to the earthen ground below the rubber that gets trampled so hard every day! New playset with clubhouse attached by a bridge! Playhouse has a corkscrew style fireman pole! Main playset has a double-slide and additional single slide. Actual stairs allow easy access for toddlers, and as shown in my pics, parents can get in for easy access to all parts of this thing, so no one gets away from you. I walked all over this thing and it held me fine. It's not going anywhere! Swings have been reduced from four to just two (both baby seats), but it seemed to work out okay. Today was a busy Columbus day, and there was no line for swings. Still a bouncy seesaw thing. They kids love that! Super popular, everyone is making it hop all day long! Little ones enjoy the middle where it's less crazy! A series of graduating height/diameter bongo drums is in the corner where the xylophone used to be. My toddler loved them! I wish they were a little shorter, but he still went nuts. There are chimes to replace the xylophone, located under the clubhouse, alongside some built-in puzzles and steering wheel things. A cool new rope climbing aparatus replaces the old curved hanging bars. This is advanced for toddlers. Not sure how it fits with the vision of Tot Lot, but it satisfies older siblings who need a better challenge. There is another little car thing for toddler exploration. Has vinyl flap doors they can get in and out of, and things to steer and move around inside. The whole ground surface is freshly re-done in more rubber, this time, a mix of black and blue to hide dirt. Same fence, same rules, same latching gate. Great new play space! Thanks, Media Borough!

    Great for small kids! Fenced in, soft rubber ground (not the annoying pieces but a solid surface)…read moreSmall slide and climbing structures, music station , benches, swings - all the perfect height for a toddler! They also put up a sail shade In the summer to keep it nice and shady! Love this spot for my 2 year old!

    Challenge Grove Park will always hold a sentimental place in my heart, as it is the place where I…read moretrained for my first 5K. Four years later, I still find myself driving here from time to time to do the old running route. Besides that, I run through the park on an almost weekly basis, as it is part of my running clubs 12 mile Sunday run. The park is open and welcoming. A year or two ago volunteers built the Build Jake's Place, a "boundless" playground which welcomes children of all abilities and disabilities. During my most recent visit to the park this past week, I noticed that a second new playground area is being built. (I can't find the info now, but I think I read that it is going to be a softball/baseball field of sorts, again for all children, regardless of ability/disability). The park also includes a quarter mile track, restrooms, bocce court, a basketball court, and baseball field. There is also what appears to be a soccer or football field set back behind a wooded area that I have not ventured to, but I often see games being held there. A short walk to the other end of the park brings to to an area of the Cooper River, and a large grassy field area where one could spread out and relax. For the runner or walker, there are also some trails, which Cherry Hill Township has been making a point of maintaining in the last year or two, and has encouraged people to take advantage of these areas. I only recently ventured back in these trails, and they are really beautiful, well maintained, and not long or complicated enough to get you lost. If you prefer the roads, a lap around the entire park (Caldwell Road, Park Blvd., Kings Hwy., and back into the park on Bortons Mill) is about a 1.25 mile run. The park area is also home to the old Croft Farmstead, but I'll be honest... I don't know what goes on in those buildings, just that it's a historic area in the township. One thing the township/county needs to improve are the restrooms. On the occasion that they are actually open, they are absolutely awful. Smelly, filled with graffiti, no paper towels, and just filthy. The water fountains could use some upgrading, too... they are forced to be turned off in the winter because they don't utilize no-freeze technology, and in the summer the water is just hot, and therefore useless to an overheated endurance runner. If the park could fix either one of those things, they'd easily be a 4 or 5 star park in my eyes.
