Memorial Park in South Orange is a small park. It's a good park for parents with small children. You can take young children here because of the playground and the swings. The playground set is for younger kids, like 2-4 years old maybe. It's also a nice little park where you can get in a quick stroll on the walkways, especially if you are pushing stroller or with kids. There is a circular path towards the back of the park farther away from Valley Street.

Love this little gem of a park in my neighborhood!…read more My 9 month old daughter is very into swings, so this is the perfect spot to take her. There are two baby swings and it's rarely crowded so we usually have the swings to ourselves. There are also some other jungle gym areas that I'm sure she'll appreciate more in a few years. I'm sure soon enough she will love the big tire swing and slide. The park has picnic tables, a cute little pond and ample parking. In the winter when the pond freezes up this is a popular spot for skating and ice hockey. Overall it's a nice spot to have nearby and I'm sure I'll be here more frequently as it continues to warm up.

Located in the heart of Chatham New Jersey Memorial Park is a well situated park with many of the…read moreamenities that a young family would enjoy. There are two groups of playsets which are clean modern and well-maintained. There is a library which is fantastic. There is also a basketball court. In the summer there is a community pool that is open for residents of the borrow which is small but again convenient for some people. In addition to all of this there are very big fields which are good for playing soccer baseball and the like.

A Place to Play on Elliott Street…read more Elliott Street Playground is another fun Morristown neighborhood playground tucked away at the end of a quiet street. It offers 2 play structures for 2-5 year olds and 5-12 year olds respectively, 2 toddler swings, 2 standard swings, 1 covered picnic area with a picnic table, 1 full basketball court, 1 tennis court, a small green space, and access to Patriots Path near Speedwell Lake. No drinking fountains or restrooms are located here so play your day accordingly. This playground is a great feature in a well manicured neighborhood. The playground is well laid out which allows for keeping track of little ones from any angle. This includes the covered picnic area. Both play structures are easily accessible by parents who need to assist little ones just learning how to play here. The 5-12 year olds play structure includes monkey bars that are suitable for kids and adults to use for some play/exercise outside. It also features a double wide slide to allow for sliding down with your little ones on your lap. The 2-5 year olds play structure has 45° angled climbing wall and crawling tube to keep things fun and simple. The courts are full sized and fully functional. There is a green space next to the courts that is just large enough to lightly toss a ball or frisbee around. Just past the courts and green space you will find an entrance to Patriots Path. This entrance leads to Speedwell Lake which offers nature views and trout fishing. The T-intersection near Speedwell lake indicates you have arrived at Patriots Path which is designated for bicycle and foot traffic. At this T-intersection you can take a right towards Speedwell Park or a left towards the Lake Road crossing. Being a neighborhood playground it isn't typically full of children through the day. But it is a nice little spot to spend some time playing outside whenever you are in the area. Our little one loves to walk to Elliott Street playground from Speedwell Park via Patriots Path to get in a walk, some nature, and some extra playground time.

Waterlands Parks is small park and far from the avenue. I came across it the first time when I was…read morewalking on 3rd street by the Gaslight Commons and noticed the Rahway River cuts through it. There's a nice walking path, which I like. For the kiddies, there's a playground area and little league baseball/softball fields. The only thing is that it gets dark there at night. While South Orange is safe, I'm not a fan of standing around in the dark, so I would recommend coming here during the day and leaving before dusk.

The complex is easily accessible from Rt. 46 and there's a decent amount of parking available. The public bathrooms are closed from November - April, something to keep in mind if you plan on visiting for a few hours. Unfortunately, people seem to think the soccer field is a nice dumping spot for trash, especially water bottles, and other than that area, the field is mostly clean. P.S. the world is not your trash can, stop littering.

A Place for Baseball Games Off West Main…read more Stumbled onto this place after dropping of some donations at Goodwill in Rockaway. My son wanted to try to get in some playground time before the rain started so I headed towards some green spaces just up the road that might have had something to offer. We lucked out when we found Donatoni Community Park. This park is tucked away off of the street and you would only notice it by the single road sign or the play structure next to the parking lot. The parking lot is flanked by 2 baseball fields and a playground. The playground is small but pretty awesome. It is designed for 5-12 year olds and offers slides, climbing structures, and crawling structures. All the "active" spaces at this park are in full sun. There is a concession stand area with a covered picnic table area next to the playground. I assume the stand is only open during large gaming events. I wasn't able to find any bathrooms during our short stay as the rain came shortly after we arrived. This must be a quite place when there aren't any baseball games going on as kids were biking in the parking lot while their parents hung out. I definitely would come back to this place especially after hitting up some awesome Thai food at Thai Nam Phet just down the road.
