Knoll Gardens Pool is a clean, nice pool and big enough to bring the whole family. Opens in the…read moremorning and closes at 7 in the night. Such a good amount of time to enjoy. Fortunately, that wasn't the case for my family & I. At the start My family & I were racial profiled, felt unsafe and were falsely accused of many things. Beside from that each lifeguard kept staring at my family even after when we weren't in the water. At one point my kids got screamed at for throwing a ball around even though they were other kids doing the same as mine. One of my other kids who were older and with no kids around was using profanity in between conversation with other family members. The owner screamed at all of them in the rudest manner and they were told by her to "Shut up and watch your mouth". We stood quite because at that point we knew something wasn't right, and there would be no point to fight with someone as ignorant as they were. A couple of minutes passed by and she was cursing with other lifeguards and cursed at her own kids. Which at this point we can rule in hypocritical and racial behavior between the owners and staff. My family isn't "small", and we're all not "quite" nor we aren't stupid and lesser than anyone in the vicinity. Best Believe when we all come together to enjoy a place such as the Knoll Garden Pool, We bought chips, drinks (soda, juices and water) and food. Which is allowed at the poolside. While we were eating, and snacking on our things, we cleaned up and threw everything in the garbage. As soon as the cups and the food were placed in the trash, the owner and staff Accused my family of being under the influence to hiding liquor, even said we had the whole place smelling like liquor. They took it to the extreme by taking all of our trash from the trash and smelling each empty cup. Since none of the cups smelled like liquor the manager then went to opening water bottles on the table and smelling each one of them. One of the staff even has the audacity to take a sip out of one of the bottles, and all she sip'd was water. They claimed to smell alcoholic beverage in one single cup. I took the liberty to walk around the poolside and ask the other people enjoy the pool if they smelled anything that closely resembles anything to liquor. Each and every single person we asked said no, that the cup smells like nothing. A Big Hispanic Family Racially Profiled and wrong accused of actions none of us did. Soon after, our every move was being watched by staff and the owner. They even placed a lifeguard to sit in the middle between our family. How inconsiderate can the staff and owner be towards my family. They were wrong during their assumption and to place a lifeguard in the middle as if we were animals that needed to be watched carefully. Knoll Gardens Pool closes at 7, it just so happened that by 6:20 the owner blew her Whistle and were screaming at my family to exit the pool, not even giving us more than a minute to exit. She was screaming at us like animals. " I don't care, my pool and I want you people out, I want you people to leave" Came straight from The proud owner of Knoll Gardens Pool. While my family were getting our stuff, we asked "why are you treating us like animals?" Just for The Owner to call the cops, and unfortunately a verbal fight broke out between a family member and the owner due to her rude and racial behavior. In the end, they treated us like animals, watched us like animals & kicked us out like animals that we are not. Little does any of the staff or owners know that they were video recorded during the verbal fight. They told the cops that we are rude and loud and drinking. The manager even called their whole family to threaten us And say " we called the cops, as if we were scared. And acted like we were scared of getting deported or something between those lines. All the statements that weren't true and the video will express those thoroughly. We aren't animals, we paid to get in, we deserve an atmosphere that didn't make my kids cry. Knoll Gardens Pool is a horrific display of racism to the illest extend. In the end, it's not about getting the money we paid back. It's knowing that racism is still alive and this memory will have the younger generation of my family scared of this type of behavior for majority of their life.

Wesley was amped up after his vaccines so I decided to look for a park where we could eat our lunch and enjoy the spring weather. I legit just looked up parks on Apple Maps and chose the closest place. Oh my god - there was a lake - accessible by walking or by car. So many lovely places to park right by the water. An ABUNDANCE of benches. So many beautiful cherry blossom canopies. And dog friendly to boot! We saw elderly couples, teenage friends, young lovers, new moms, athletes, dog dads, people fishing. There's also swimming and aquatics there once the summer rolls around. It was just so perfect.

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.

The playground itself isn't completely fenced in. There are two openings. They have gates but the gates were chained opened with locks so there was no way to shut them. As far as what's on the playground for the kids, some stuff might not be great for younger kids, but my 6 year old and 4 year olds loved it. We'll definitely be going back again.

They sand, paddle boats, kayaks, slides, and a little obstacle course for kids in the middle of the lake. Life guards on duty, beach volleyball court, barbecue grills, tent, picnic tables, and life jackets. A lot of things and you only pay $7 on weekends. I've came twice both times were on a Sunday. Not over packed were you feel there are people laying right on top of you. More kids and families come after 1pm. So if you are looking for some relaxation come early. The earlier you come the better. Beach is clean, sand is a bit tough because it has rocks mixed in, water is so refreshing. The bottom of the water has seaweed. Food and drinks are allowed and I'm sure no alcohol. Nice place for a party. Definitely going to be my spot for the summer.

The playground offers slides, a play structure, climbing structures, standard swings, toddler swings, a red carriage, a balance beam, and a GATED SANDBOX that has sand toys for your little ones to play with. Currently this is the only public sandbox that I can think of in Morris Plains so that makes this playground a particularly nice destination for parents of children who love to play in the sand. No restrooms are available here regularly so plan your day accordingly. I believe the concession stand and restrooms are only available for large sporting and/or community events. With everything else here it's hard to complain. Ultimately the overall atmosphere of the park is very relaxing. The fields and courts are well taken care of and the pond is a destination for people who love to fish in the area. I look forward to coming back to experience it again with the family.
