The playground itself…read morehas several areas for different age groups, and plenty of options from swings and slides to rides and ramps to climbing apparatus and interactive toys. The 2-5 area has a soft rubber ground on hike older areas are predominantly mulch. The area also offers soccer fields and basketball courts along with several areas for parties and gatherings. The only negative is that it can get very crowded at times. Otherwise it is a perfect setting for your family outing.

Hidden Park a Stones Throw From the Morristown Station…read more I brought my son here after having lunch near the Morristown Station expecting this to be much smaller based on the original review and photos. To my surprise Jacob Ford Playground has an amazing amount of open space considering the location. Jacob Ford Playground is more of a park that is nestled into a quiet neighborhood than just a playground. It features 1 full basketball court, 1 tennis court, 1 covered picnic area, 1 grass field, 2 integrated play structures, 2 toddler swings, 2 standard swings and an "Impressive" grassy hill at the far end. The basketball and tennis courts are no frills but fully functional. The basketball court is located near the street entrance and is close enough to the covered picnic area that you can watch any games that are going on while enjoying some nice shade. The tennis court is in a far corner which offers a sense of seclusion so you don't need to worry about if people are watching you as you perfect your [enter your dream tennis move here]. Between these courts is the grassy field. This field is big enough for anything you can throw at it. It even has a fence set up for any kind of pitching sport (think baseball or kickball). The play structures appear to be solidly designed for 5-12 year olds. These play structures are very engaging because there are so many different elements to climb, slide, and explore. The toddler swings and standard swings flank opposite sides of the playground so your smaller one(s) should be safe from the bigger one(s). The benches surrounding the playground located closest to the fence tend to be mostly shaded throughout the day. Because of its proximity you can catch the sounds and sights of the Dover Train Line. This can be seen as an added bonus considering so many little ones enjoy trains. I personally found it quite relaxing to hear the train roll by so quietly. If you would like to observe all of these elements at the same time, I would recommend that you check out the top of the "impressive" grassy hill at the far end of the field. Your efforts will be rewarded with shade and a great view of the entire place. There is a Porta Potty located near the entrance but it was locked while I was there. There is no bathroom here otherwise so plan you day accordingly.

There's a nice gazebo with picnic tables for lunch or just resting in the shade. Big kid and little kid swings available. There's a fence around most of the playground.

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.

Add a parent I really appreciated that it wasn't too crowded on a Sunday morning and all of the children there were patient and well behaved. Since it's a bit further away we won't be there daily but will certainly make the 20 minute trip again!

A Place to Play on Elliott Street…read more Elliott Street Playground is another fun Morristown neighborhood playground tucked away at the end of a quiet street. It offers 2 play structures for 2-5 year olds and 5-12 year olds respectively, 2 toddler swings, 2 standard swings, 1 covered picnic area with a picnic table, 1 full basketball court, 1 tennis court, a small green space, and access to Patriots Path near Speedwell Lake. No drinking fountains or restrooms are located here so play your day accordingly. This playground is a great feature in a well manicured neighborhood. The playground is well laid out which allows for keeping track of little ones from any angle. This includes the covered picnic area. Both play structures are easily accessible by parents who need to assist little ones just learning how to play here. The 5-12 year olds play structure includes monkey bars that are suitable for kids and adults to use for some play/exercise outside. It also features a double wide slide to allow for sliding down with your little ones on your lap. The 2-5 year olds play structure has 45° angled climbing wall and crawling tube to keep things fun and simple. The courts are full sized and fully functional. There is a green space next to the courts that is just large enough to lightly toss a ball or frisbee around. Just past the courts and green space you will find an entrance to Patriots Path. This entrance leads to Speedwell Lake which offers nature views and trout fishing. The T-intersection near Speedwell lake indicates you have arrived at Patriots Path which is designated for bicycle and foot traffic. At this T-intersection you can take a right towards Speedwell Park or a left towards the Lake Road crossing. Being a neighborhood playground it isn't typically full of children through the day. But it is a nice little spot to spend some time playing outside whenever you are in the area. Our little one loves to walk to Elliott Street playground from Speedwell Park via Patriots Path to get in a walk, some nature, and some extra playground time.
