Stop looking elsewhere, this is THE place to have your kid's birthday part (ages 2 through I would…read moresay 10). We had my son's 5th bday part last weekend! The facilities are extremely well kept. Owners Jackie and Squal are super responsive, accommodating and willing to work with you within their options/offerings. They make sure they staff your event properly based on the size of your party. The provide catering options that know how to work with them to make sure the food gets delivered on time! Most importantly, your kids and their friends will have a blast! We have all been to kids parties where "it does the trick" what makes Livingston Gym standout is how involved the entire staff is during the party. The combination of group play and self explore throughout the entire gym. Even the parents are having a blast fully engaged watching their kids enjoy such a wonderful experience. Only warning I have is that your kids will want to pretty much sign up for every single class they can there! Thank you Jackie and Squal for making our big guy's bday experience a memorable one for all!

There are various play areas including a vet hospital, police station and slide set. You took our two-year-old daughter there and she loved it. It was $20 for unlimited play.

We held our 7yo sons birthday party here a little while ago with about 15kids. All the kids had a…read moreblast. The teachers are phenomenal and made it so much fun for the kids. As soon as we got there, they took care of everything from serving the food and drinks to helping each child with their art work. They are very well organized to be very efficient with time. I was incredibly pleased with the level of care and patience of each of the staff when dealing with 15 rambunctious 7 year olds. The studio is a very nice and clean facility with plenty of room to host a party. One section was used for food while the other area for the art work. It was definitely a pleasure and looking forward to the next event there.

It has one large play structure that isn't very challenging for older kids. A few cozy coupe cars, a kitchen set (minimal accessories), an ice cream truck, and soft blocks. There are a couple of sensory swings also. It's just small, not a lot to do, and so it's good for little kids crawling or just walking (especially if you can get the price for under 1YO and adult). Worth checking out once but I won't pay $30 again for this to come with my older kid.

This is a great neighborhood park. My daughter loves it!…read more It's nice and open without much trees or shade around, which makes this the perfect park for a chilly yet sunny day. The playground area is large with lots of various slide / tunnel / swing / climbing wall options. My daughter is 1.5 and there is plenty for her to do. In addition to a playground there is also a large basketball court, soccer field and a gazebo. There are always a ton of organized sports going on, especially during the weekends. Parking and benches are plentiful. Simons Park doesn't get as crowded as Central Park, but also has a bit more to do than Watnong Park. Because of that it's usually my go-to, and is the perfect way to get fresh air with my mini.

There are both regular swings, toddler swings, and a see-saw in addition to the play structures. You can keep an eye on your little ones from one of several benches in or around the playground. If you would like to watch like a pro in the shade you can keep an eye on them from the gazebo that is located right next to the playground. The ground cover is made of recycled tires to protect your little ones from little falls. The trees next to this playground provide shade later in the afternoon so plan your sun exposure accordingly. There is a water fountain here between the basketball court and playground that is available seasonally. There is currently (end of Spring 2016) a blue porta-potty near the entrance to the parking lot near the corner of Hillview Ave and Mountain Way. The bathrooms attached to the concession stand are typically not available unless there is a large sporting or community event going on so plan your intake and output needs accordingly.

An amazing park we stumbled across when trying to find a playground for our child…read more This playground has 2 adjacent gated playgrounds, a gazebo, a drinking fountain, shaded seating, and a Porta Potty to serve small and big kids alike. The 2-5 year olds Toddler playground has rubber mats on the ground to protect your little ones from little falls. 1 play structure, 5 Rocking features, and 2 Toddler swings are available. The Motorcycle rocking feature with the side car, the giraffe bench, and the shaded bench in the play structure are pretty awesome and adorabeezle. The 5-12 year olds playground has wood chip ground cover. It is a combination of older plastic, rope, and wood structures that should keep your kids climbing and sliding in very original ways. They are even very fun for those who are kids at heart. 1 large play structure, 1 climbing wall, 1 see saw table, 2 standard swings, and a tire swing are available. A few of the really original structures in the 5-12 year olds playground are the gondola at the back and the yellow sliding "rings" in the front of the play structure. The gondola can be moved between two platforms by turning the crank. The yellow sliding "rings" can be used by holding onto 1 yellow "ring" on each of 2 tracks that are next to each other. Then you need to alternate balancing your weight on one "ring" while sliding the other one forward. (Imagine trying to peddle with your hands in the air.) It's tons of fun and probably a pretty good upper body and core workout. The drinking fountain is located near the entrance of the 5-12 year olds playground. A Porta Potty is located to the left side of the playgrounds for your convenience. The Bee Meadow Pool and football field are just across the parking lot which has lots of parking.
