My little queens were tired of the same playgrounds. My bro's yelp review and pix impressed us all…read more We parked right in front and my kids (ages 3 and 5) ran to the castle-themed jungle gyms and had fun and freedom for the next 2 hours. There were so many structures that all the children had plenty of personal space. Special features included a roller-based slide, a zip-line, and a rope climb. It's an excellent playground I can add to the rotation. Come out and play! NOTES/TIPS: **Picnic tables, plenty of benches, and 2 porta-potties on-site. **If the main parking lot is full, additional parking is 200 ft. away. **The playground is next to a basketball court, baseball field, and soccer field.

Drove in around 12 noon on a Friday, noticed right away that although there was plenty of parking,…read morethe playground was packed. Benches for eating are at the entrance located close enough to watch your kids playing basketball or on the playground. This playground is neat... truly a castle inspired theme. Great for playing peekaboo with your toddlers with many mazes to get lost in and still be sure your child is safe and can't fall out the sides (too easily). There's also a slide that can be climbed which my son was very intrigued with, once he got to the top he'd jump on the big boy slide and come out the other end, he's 14 months so there's really so much for him to explore. There's also bigger slides for older kids, different monkey bars to climb, kiddie and big kid swings, little castles with benches and tables to picnic in, and plenty of benches surrounding the playground for parents to hang out in. We lived up to our mantra: PLAY HARD NAP HARD! Baby was knocked out as soon as we got in the car so I must say it was a good day. My name is Francis and I approve of this playground. YSA (yelp service announcement) When you come here punch into your GPS this address: 651 Shunkpike Rd. Chatham NJ otherwise you will get lost.

Black Brook Park is 11 acres of recreational area carved into the suburban woodlands of Whippany…read more It's a great spot for a bike ride, jog, or just getting your steps in thanks to it's paved path. You can also check out the smaller field and show your support as the local little league teams play baseball on the 60 ft diamond. There's also a full sized 90 ft diamond as well as lighted tennis courts, pickle ball, basketball, roller hockey, and volleyball courts.    In the warmer months they hold concerts and live events at the gazebo area and they also have a horseshoe pit which can sometimes get competitive. Not saying I'm a ringer or nothing but I have been known to throw a shoe now and again, just don't forget to bring your wallet Lol.    This park is always well maintained and clean and they're very serious about keeping that way. Dogs are welcomed as long as they're picked up after and there are restrooms located near the front parking lots. Come And Get Your Activities On!!

Wanted to explore a new park today and found Black Brook Park, an 11-acre multi-purpose family…read morefriendly park situated in lovely Whippany (Hanover Twp), NJ. Per the township website and as is apparent once you arrive at this well-maintained, clean and beautiful park, it offers the following: Basketball court Bike and jogging path around the perimeter of the park Four lighted tennis courts Gazebo Horseshoe Pit Little League diamond (60 feet) Picnic area Playground Restrooms Standard size baseball field (90 feet) Tennis practice wall Tot playground next to the small diamond Two roller hockey courts Volleyball court Black Brook also offers a snack bar during baseball season, as well as picnic rentals. Even with overcast skies, it was great to be able to enjoy the fresh air and get the endorphins released today at such a pleasant spot. If you're a walker/runner, you may not find the perimeter of the trails adequate in terms of the stretch of trails (you can do multiple loops) but what's nice about this park is that you can venture into the very nice surrounding residential developments to get more distance in, with inclines/downhills. Great place to bring your doggie(s) too! They also have a nice little playground for the little ones. Check out Black Brook in Whippany!! :)

It's where you see hometown baseball games and where Food Truck fundraisers are held. Local Carnivals and Fireworks are also held here. It's where you can go and get your cardio on while you walk/run around the Park. Just recently I found out that in the Summer and early Fall months they have a Farmer's Market on Mondays where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Many local 'up and coming' Bands have community concerts here at the Park. This place is a very cool park to hang out and be one with this outstanding Town.

It is so nice to see the change an updating over the last 10 yrs. You should of seen this place 10 yrs. Ago! What a mess!! Now they have redone a lot of it. There are new picnic tables, benches, bochie ball(not sure I'm spelling this right) the fields are green and the fence is updated. This park is perfect for a daily stroll, watching your children play sports, climbing on the jungle gym, reading a good book in the shade or sun& having a nice romantic lunch with your other half. This park is made for everything! It just depends in the day of the week and the time you come.

Came Here To Vote. Stayed Here to Play…read more We came here to participate in the 2016 Primary Elections. The Hall was large and provided a comfortable voting experience. In terms of the facility it was easily 4 star level. But you can't leave out Location, Location, Location. The Morris Plains Community Center is in the middle of the Morris Plains Community Park! That means it is next to 5 baseball fields, 2 batting cages, 2 basketball courts, 2 tennis courts, 1 playground, 1 gated sand box, a covered picnic area, a pond, and a community pool. This place gets the 5 star rating because it is surrounded by so many options to have a good time outside. No voters were harmed during the writing of this review. And if there were, FUGETABOUTIT!!!

Wow by far the nicest public outdoor tennis courts I have ever played on. This park kind of made me…read morefeel like an inner city kid from one of those cliche sports movies when I thought of the condition of the courts near my home. This is a beautiful park set in the middle of a bunch of 3,000-4,000 square foot home developments. If you play tennis especially flex tennis try to set your match for here. They also have two nice full court basketball courts and clean bathrooms that are always open.

I've read all the negative reviews so here's the reasons I find this a five star gym. Note my…read moreinterests and situation probably are different from yours, so I am very clear regarding these factors so you can judge whether this gym makes sense for you. Lifetime bills itself as an athletic country club. It definitely has that feel. Many amenities are included in membership including towel service, saunas, lockers with locks installed, a cafe, a spa with massages as well as full beauty services. An infants and Kids Academy (at extra cost) are available. Indoor sauna and steam rooms are available plus indoor whirlpool, lap pool and leisure pool. In season there's an outdoor pool. Basketball courts, rock climbing and a squash court and pickleball at available. Lots of pickleball - lessons, leagues and just play. I assume this is eating into some of the time alloted to other activities but since I joined after pickleball exploded as an activity, I can't judge before and after. Plus I do not play any of the above racket sports. Classes galore including yoga, cycle, Pilates, Barre and dance. Training classes at various levels of intensity and desired outcomes are numerous. As a new member you get a free training session. Everyone said, since I have neck surgery and have nuts, bolts and screws in my neck, I should schedule my personal session with Jason. And Jason caught into my physical limitations more quickly than many physical therapists. Afterwards, I bought another lesson with him, and a cardio evaluation, both of which were very worthwhile and kept me improving. The equipment floor has a wide variety of weights, machines, bicycles, ellipticals, treadmills - just about everything you'd think of. Plus there is staff all over. From time to time, I've needed help with equipment or have a question and everyone has been most helpful. The facility is exceptionally clean with no gym odor whatsoever. I truly hate the gym smell and I don't know exactly how they do it, but the ventilation and odor control must be superb. The equipment is very well maintained. I reported that one of the recumbent ellipticals wasn't working and someone was there within 5 minutes to fix it. Due to my physical limitations, most of the classes are off limits to me. (My neurosurgeon said "No pickleball or sky diving"). The personal training has been first rate. I dislike swimming, so while I watch people doing laps and just handing out in the indoor pool, I have no personal experience. I am on Medicare and get this gym free through United Healthcare Supplement as a benefit. It is about 20 minutes from my house. Other gyms were closer but not nearly as well appointed or clean. In addition to the distance, another trade off here is limited hours for those using Medicare. Entrance times: M-F 9:30 to 3, Sat after 2 and all day Sunday. Now if you come in at 3 on a Tuesday, you can stay as long as you want, but you have to be there by 3. I don't know what it is like to do an entire work out after work or in the evening although when I've stayed past three it's clearly starts getting more crowded. Since it's free, I don't have to assess a value vs benefit. It's an expensive, high end gym. There's another gym, also free, within walking distance. I'd rather drive 20 mins. Then again, I'm retired. I like working out on the weight equipment and recumbent elliptical bicycle. It's been incredibly helpful I have so many equipment options so I can find things that work for my specific circumstances. And as I have gotten stronger, more equipment is available. Personally if you have the money, I'd definitely at least tour one of the Life Time facilities.

This community park has what you're looking for in Morris Plains:…read more 5 Baseball Fields 2 Batting Cages 2 Basketball Courts 2 Tennis Courts 1 Playground 1 GATED SANDBOX!!! 1 Covered Picnic Area 1 Drinking Fountain 1 Pond 1 Gazebo 1 Museum 1 Community Center 1 Community Pool (at the end of the road) The playground here is located right across from the parking lot that is centrally located to all of the fields, courts, gazebo, concession stand, community center, and museum. The playground offers slides, a play structure, climbing structures, standard swings, toddler swings, a red carriage, a balance beam, and a GATED SANDBOX that has sand toys for your little ones to play with. Currently this is the only public sandbox that I can think of in Morris Plains so that makes this playground a particularly nice destination for parents of children who love to play in the sand. No restrooms are available here regularly so plan your day accordingly. I believe the concession stand and restrooms are only available for large sporting and/or community events. With everything else here it's hard to complain. Ultimately the overall atmosphere of the park is very relaxing. The fields and courts are well taken care of and the pond is a destination for people who love to fish in the area. I look forward to coming back to experience it again with the family.

This review is for the awesome splash pad that is located in Wheeler Park. Every time we go we…read morehave a blast! I am also so happy that Wheeler park welcomes everyone from all over NJ (and elsewhere). Coming from out of the county will cost you a bit more, but not much. If you live outside of Union County it is $4.00 for kids ($2.00 in county) and $6.00 for adults ($3.00 in county). This splash pad has every water feature a kid could ever need - from bigger twisty water slides, to a small dragon water slide. Also, water guns that you can shoot each other with, a pirate boat, water shooting up from the ground, and much more. My kids spent a little over 2 hours here and had an absolute blast. We've been here about 3 times and it never disappoints. Just be sure to bring some sort of shade covering. There isn't much cover at the splash pad so we usually bring our small beach tent with us. There is also a dry playground in the splash pad gated area where kids can play too. They have staff who help keep the kids safe and to make sure everyone goes down the water slides safe and sound. I highly recommend Wheeler Spray Park on a hot summer day.
