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.

The room that we stayed in was to my (our) surprise, pretty tiny and cramped as it was hard to move around, especially since there were a lot of people. Not too big of a deal, but do take caution. It was well-organized where we stayed, which is all that matters. There are a lot of sporting activities to offer, such as basketball in one room, hockey which includes ice and roller skating as well, and an indoor field that holds baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, and even frisbee as well with even more names to list. There are many sporting activities to do here, and this is the place to come for get-togethers and/or just to hang out. Overall, a great place to visit.

I hate this place for playing roller hockey. Nothing works here including the refs. The most…read moreunprofessional run facility I have ever been to. There was one time during a hockey game that a ref was sitting down eating during a game instead of out on the rink. I yelled over and asked him to ref the game he was paid to do and he proceeded to curse back at me with a lot of foul language. He still works there. Management is constantly contacted and nothing changes. This week a ref offered to get me a chair while I walked past him. He was only able to do that because he was standing in the penalty box on his cell phone while the puck was in play. I replied I want you to ref I don't want a chair. They are paid $25 for 40 mins of socializing, eating, and just skating away from a game in play. During the same game the other ref was hanging on the goal post the entire game talking with the goalie and not paying attention to the whole game. I have never seen a place that is a free for all for the employees and they have no manager around making sure they are doing what they are supposed to do. As long as they collect the money from all the teams the facility is still left in the dirty run down condition that it has been in for years. Hundreds of dollars taken from each team and they cannot afford to fix the score board so you can read the numbers? Several bulbs are out and just left without repair.

No one is dribbling a ball and there isn't one to try and steal. It's just a giant game of tag. This place is a HUGE waste of money! DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE!

Most parks paths are narrow so we end up, one infront of the other, yelling our conversations over our shoulders. I also like that this park is so spacious and well kept.

Let me say it again patience which is extremely important when working with kids and teaching he never has an attitude always with a smile no matter what is going on in his life , puts everyone first , I cannot speak highly enough about him and trust me when I say, I am a very difficult person to please, when it comes to coaching because I am a coach myself.

Went back and forth via email multiple times BEFORE they told me the date I wanted wasn't available, which is the date I gave them in email one. Offered a new date, it was booked. They tried to call me mid day and I wasn't available due to a work conference so I emailed them, told them this and requested a list of available dates over a two weekend period. They call again but of course I couldn't pick up. So applaud them for calling, but be respectful of what I sent you. I call back twice, leave a message, nothing. Then they ghost me. Apparently they don't want our money so we shifted to something else, but had to scramble last minute. So while I recommend a day trip here, don't waste your time trying to book out a party.
Cool place for climbing and the ninja course is great. Employees seem very unfamiliar with policies…read moresurrounding rescheduling/canceling advanced bookings. We purchased cliffhanger tickets several weeks in advance, only to have a major snowstorm (8-12 inches statewide, state of emergency issued) on our date/time. They did not want to refund or reschedule our time slot, I had to speak to several employees who all told me vastly different things. For a fun afternoon out (we were not affiliated with any sports team or tournament), it strikes me as irresponsible that they were unwilling to work with us to reschedule our visit due to dangerous driving conditions. I eventually spoke to an employee who seemed knowledgable and was kind enough to explain the situation on their end. He was able to move our reservation, but at that point I expended so much time and patience on the phone with them, it was quite frustrating.

The area we were directed to park made me initially think I had come to the wrong place (the…read moreinitial path went thru an overgrown but worn path thru the woods that looked like we were headed into more woods). Eventually the path ended to a grassy area with a sign pointing to the mansion where we found the water tower and garden area. The garden was quite nice. Loved seeing the water tower (and appreciated the signage explaining the history and inner workings). Pro tip for newbies like us: You can walk on the road or drive closer to the mansion instead of taking the woodsy path. Oh, also there are NO trashcans at this location (even for doggy doo bags, diapers, etc), so come prepared. No nearby restroom to the garden either.
