Great kids playground! Very large, so many fun things for…read morekids to climb on, imagine, play with. They have music toys, sandbox, slides, and water misters. The ground is made of soft rubber material. There are a bunch of benches for parents to relax on. :) There are bathrooms right next to the playground. Around are fields and nature trails. One of the trails along the creek has a nice spot for kids to jump in and get a little wet.

Some shows such as the Billy Joel tribute are quite popular and fill up quickly. Bring low chairs or a blanket. You can also bring your own food and nonalcoholic beverages. They have a Rita's stand and I believe one other food stand. Parking is free and plentiful although you may have to walk a distance. Enjoy!

Last year on Christmas week we drove by this park and wondered what all the lights were. A year…read morewent by and I forgot about it. Last night we were driving by on our way home and saw the bright lights and decided to stop in. Wow this place is spectacular! So glad we parked the car and walked around. The effort put into lighting this place was tremendous. If we are in the area next year we will def stop in again for some feel good xmas spirit. highly recommend!

Elwell Field is a great park/playground that is on our rotation of places to go with the kiddo…read more There are multiple play structures including a large wooden play structure that offers multiple stories of things to play on. Underneath has some pretend items for smaller kids to play in. Multiple slides including one enclosed 2 story slide that is a favorite of ours. 2 additional stand-alone slides, a geodesic dome, swings... plenty of things for everyone to play on! There is also a couple of baseball fields that are catty-corner to one another with some grass in between. There are two tennis courts that are in really great shape and two basketball courts that are usually open. The park is adjacent to the Haverford College nature trail which is a nice way to extend a park visit or change up the walk to and from the park. Parking is a bit of a pain in the butt, only street parking however it is worth the hassle.

Brookside is a Newtown Township park, tucked into the back of a development, where Brookside Rd…read morehits Bryn Mawr Ave (short jaunt from route 3). When I visited they were packed with visitors for a Saturday soccer game. Cars lined the drive, overflowed onto the grass, everywhere. Still, I was able to get a spot in the parking lot for the playground, which was really nice and considerate of the soccer people, because I would not have been able to visit if I had to lug my toddler from a spot on the lawn of the other side of the park. This park is amazingly clean for the volume of visitors, and everyone was polite and respectful, except for one older boy on the swings at the playground who dropped the f-bomb (and then looked at me to see if I would yell at him for it, LOL). Grrrrr. The playstructure is standard, and as I've recently seen by exploring all this twp's parks, similar to the structures at the other twp playgrounds. They got some bargain on these climb-on dinosaurs because they're roaring from all corners of the township. My son loves to pat them and roar, so they're cool with me! This isn't a park for hiking or other exercise, but for the league sports, and playground, it's a-okay!

I can see this as being a nice place to take kids to play on the playground or have a picnic. It looked like the back portion of the park was marshy and flooded so beware of that. The pond looked a little dirty, but there was someone fishing so maybe there's some catchable fish in there. Overall okay. Not the most thrilling park but it serves a purpose.

This park is a lawsuit waiting to happen. It is a joke. Whoever designed it is a f*cking idiot and…read morewhoever approved it is a f*cking a**hole. The Zipline has no safety precautions whatsoever and nobody works at this park so the thing is mobbed by sh*tty teenagers f*cking around. There are no barriers, no nets. Eventually a toddler is going run in the way of a teen and get obliterated. Then there's the giant pendulums. Two of them. Like 10 feet high in the air, these horrible things that kids can climb on and rock across a big gap. No safety precautions again. No nets, no barriers, and no attendants. What happens when a kid sticks a finger in the hinge at the bottom? What happens when a kid falls off, 10 feet up, onto another? Bottom line is this park is made of high quality material, looks new, smells new, yeah, very new and shiney. But everyone involved in designing and approving this park should be fired. It's filled with deathtraps and should be torn down.
