Open just 3 days a week for 6 weeks in the summer, it's completely free for kids 12 and under only. (8 and under on Tuesdays). It used to be a sanitarium & still serves as a place for kids to play, relax and eat free soup at noon. Seriously. It's been open for basically ever & is kind of a local secret. Unless you are a carousel expert, then you would know about their famous Ferrari carousel that is still operating and worth a trip just to experience alone. Look up the history online for an interesting story. The grounds are large enough for some soccer games etc. & I saw what looks like a volleyball court there too. There are old trees scattered around, so you can set yourself up with a blanket & camp chairs in the shade if you'd like. Or there are 3 large pavilions and multitudes of picnic tables all over the place. I also saw people with coolers of their own food. A huge slide, swimming and wading pools, free lunch at noon, plus snacks at 10 & 2, a playground, tons of swing sets and even old-school wooden see-saws = happy kids. http://southjerseyexplorer.com/2013/05/06/soupy-island-revisited/

She just turned 13 and was with her summer camp. She was told she cannot come back due to her age. Now what is she supposed to do next week when her summer camp goes back? If she was a problem I could understand but she's a good kid and now will have to stay home with nothing to do because I will be at work. I get that they don't want a bunch of teenagers hanging out...whatever...but she's with a summer camp being supervised. And to approach my child and make her feel horrible and tell her she can't come back....seriously? She was very upset.

I know it's family friendly, but everyone in my group tended to get all the balls in within three putts. Wish it was ~slightly~ more difficult.

She is definitely in her "centers" era and boy are there so many different center options from vet to beauty salon...fire department, and everything in between. I love that there's an area for tiny friends under 2 to hang out and utilize the sensory wall and soft climbing toys, too. FOR THE PARENTS: I recommend booking sooner rather than later if you're booking a party. We made the reservation 4 months in advance, and we were stuck with our second choice. Wild Child is so well kept. They have everything down to a science between party times to ensure a clean and enjoyable experience for everyone. You drop all of your decorations off the night before so the staff can help you get a head-start on decorating before you even arrive. It's honestly very much needed, as you only have an hour to prepare. The staff makes sure everything runs so smoothly for the couple hours of party and eating time. The only thing that ticked me off during the experience was the handling of the party add-ons. They tried to pull a fast one on us with prices and "added fees" which are not displayed on their information documents. As a full-time working mom, I do wish that were options for free play on the weekends, but I do understand the reasoning for not.

They have someone walking around picking up after the kids and sanitizing the whole time. Not sure what they use to clean but we didn't smell any harsh chemicals either. There is an easily accessible bathroom inside and they sell snacks and drinks as well. Cannot wear shoes in the play area but there's a cute seating area next to the dress up zone. Separate room with doors for private parties. Pricing was great too. We have zero complaints, we love it here!

This hidden gem of a playground is worth finding if you're in the West Deptford or Woodbury area…read moreand have little ones with extra energy to burn. It's a large wooden structure playground with little forts, slides and all manner of fun stuff for kids of all ages to discover. It's even more fun than it looks in the photos I posted (methinks at least). The structure is really large & adults can can follow their kids most places on it if so desired. There are just a few spots where a young child could really take a tumble to the ground below, but that's the hazards of childhood. I kept a sharp eye on kid #1 until pretty recently. He loves this playground the best out of our small rotation though. There are also swings, a balance beam thing, slides and a sandbox. Picnic tables are around for parents & there's a small pavilion area I've seen co-opted for birthday parties. I don't think they do reservations like at Chestnut Branch park in Mantua. There's a much larger pavilion there, but the playground itself is not nearly as nice. The location is off of Crown Point Road past the library & police station if coming from Delaware St. Take the first right AFTER the light at police. There is a small sign. Follow the winding road back to the Little League field. Ample parking and a bathroom that is usually open are available. Sometimes the baseball snack bar will be open during season. We even caught a game once on a whim. Well, part of an inning! 3 year olds are notoriously fickle.

But from the moment we entered the YOUNG children they have working the front desk ill equipped to work with the public.

This is a park located less than 10 minutes from our home. We drove by it one day and decided to…read moretake our daughter to it for play time. The playground is suitable for all ages with toddler swings/harnesses on one side of the playground and teen/adult swings on the other side. There are 2 different setups right next to each other. One is for older children and the other is for the younger children. The younger setup is arranged like a ship. There are 2 slides attached and some activities. The 2nd setup has multiple slides with multiple levels. The only way to get up to level 3 is by ladder, but the 2 slides on that level are pretty fun. I would say the playground is more for ages 3+, but fun can still be had by all. There are fields all around for football, soccer, or any other sport you can think of. Parking for the playground is limited with about 15 spots, but you can park on the grass all around the playground.

The play area for older children has a very high slide and smaller slides for younger kids. There are swings for older children and bucket swings for the littles. The whole area has rubber tire below, so falls are not near as bad. There is a small rock climbing wall, ropes, and a good variety of things to do. The only time you want to avoid the park is on really hot days midday. The playground isn't at all shaded, so it can get very hot. There is also a pavilion area right next to the playground that is nice for having lunch. There are bathrooms there as well. In the summer, the ice cream truck is almost always there, so either bring cash or prep your kids that you won't be getting ice cream. haha! There are also fields all around the playground where you can walk the path, pull kids in a wagon, or ride on a bike as my kids like to do.
