If your kids like plastic climbing walls, this is the place to come to! That is the main draw for…read morecoming to this great little neighborhood playground. It's on the corner of two residential streets that do not get much traffic.The entire area is fenced in, and the neighborhood is safe and peaceful. The paved parking lot fits about 20 cars. The park is basically a big flat lawn with well maintained green grass, and a border of trees. You might see some deer, a rabbit, or some Canada Geese. There's also swings, slides, a baseball field, a basketball court, some picnic tables, and a pavilion. This park sometimes has a port-a-potty but sometimes does not. There is no permanent restroom facility here. I live nearby this park, and in the two decades I've been here, I have rarely seen more than 25 people in the park at once. I have only heard good things about this park from the people I know in the neighborhood who bring the kids here, and who play basketball here. The park is named to honor Patrolman Dunham and Patrolman Lebed, who were killed on duty together in 1960. Two public roads in town, Lebed Drive and Dunham Street, are also named after them.

Five stars for the GEESE who live here. I just love them. They're so fun to watch as they swim and…read morebathe and bask and splash around and honk as fly come in for their expert water landing. That's the main reason I come to this park just to watch them and photograph them. I'm hoping they'll have babies in the spring. That would be adorable. Who doesn't love baby geese?

This is such a lovely park. There is a skatepark, a walking area, several play areas for kids,…read morethere is a giant pond where a bunch of geese hangout. They also have a dog park, and a public fire pit! I have never seen a park with a firepit! I love going for walks here and swingin on the swings. There is also a decently clean bathroom but usually no toilet paper.

We brought our son here last year when we noticed they re-did it. The new equipment is well…read moremaintained and much nicer. There's a smaller section for small toddlers (smaller slides, a little house attached to it, etc.) and also a larger section for kids 5+ (larger slides, balance ropes, etc.). Both sections have some overhead coverage but the park itself is not shaded. There's also a separate area where the swings are and also a climbing rock/boulder. There's basketball courts adjacent to the kids playground and a good amount of parking. It's definitely one of the cleaner and newer parks around and would definitely recommend checking it out.

Also, have kids wear water shoes because the ground is hot. The splash pad consists of 10 or so (very little) jets of water, just enough for the little ones to get wet. Public bathrooms available. I believe the splash pad water starts at 11:00 a.m. When we were there there was an ice cream truck so make sure to bring cash just in case.

It's on padded turf. There's a picnic area with plenty of tables. Lots of benches around the playground too. There is very little shade at this playground. Plenty of parking.

I came here with my son this morning after driving by it countless times and kept telling myself I…read morehad to check it out. It's set back from River Road which is nice because as you probably know, it's a busy road being right off 287 with multiple businesses and Rutgers nearby. It's a clean playground with a larger playground set for kids 5+ and a smaller playground set for those younger than that. It's got a few cool features such as a "tree" ladder, a rock boulder to climb, a circular swivel type of thing to hang off of, and an uneven climbing ladder. The ground is made with small wood chips, while not my favorite (I prefer the soft bouncy surface like at Colonial Park in Somerset), but definitely better than pavement/grass/etc. There are swings, slides (one of them looked like a hazard as it dropped pretty steep but thankfully my little guy didn't want to go on it), and a pavilion area with bathrooms as well. There is a large field before the playground which looks like a nice place to throw a frisbee or I'm sure people play some pick up games there. We will definitely be back as it was quiet, clean, and offered a good variety of fun.

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. Picnic tables and grills are amazing. Had I known about this park sooner (I just moved in the area recently), I would have come here from the beginning! Mommy approved!

If you're a fellow rose lover, this is the park for you! It features one of the most extensive…read morecollections of roses in New Jersey all beautifully maintained and perfectly labeled making it easy to identify each variety. The whole area is peaceful and full of charm. Safe. No trouble makers here! The paved rose labyrinth is lovely to wander through and even if one area is busy, there's always another path to enjoy. It's accessible for children and even strollers with a little care. Check out the surrounding grounds for interesting evergreen cultivars like the Pinus wallichiana 'Zebrina' Himalayan Pine. If you have children, look for the sensitive plant near the stone hardscape...they'll love gently touching one leaf to see it close up. Just be kind to it since it takes time to reopen and continue photosynthesizing/let other kids experience it.

There is a good play structure with climbing opportunities and swings for all ages all the way from infants to early teenagers. There is also a large grass open area and tons of shade. Also there is a decent basketball court. We have visited this park often and enjoyed. I even hooked up my TRX equipment to the monkey bars and good a good workout :). Last visit we also saw a couple of deer just chilling, beautiful sight :). The park has many many trees which are nice. Be careful about visit at dusk as this park does tend to attract a good amount of mosquitos.
