My grandson had a great time here today. It's very inviting from the parking lot. There are so many different opportunities for climbing, balancing, cooperative play, and exploration. Love the musical elements of the park. There are picnic tables just outside the fence as well.

I’ve taken the kids here for years. Always a fun time. They’ve got an area separate for younger kids 4 and under too which helps with the older kids being more rambunctious. The swings are good for any age and somehow we always end up in the tire swing trying to make each other the dizziest! They also have a decent amount of picnic tables for a meal at the park.

We love Wildwood Park. We've been taking our young toddler there ever since he was able to walk. Perfect for small toddlers as well as older kids. The best feature is the park is completely fenced in with only one entrance/exit. Would have given it five stars but the newly replaced substrate is less than ideal. It flakes off and gets everywhere. Easy for little ones to ingest. We get it in our shoes and clothing and eventually into our vehicles when we leave. Still one of our favorite parks around

Awesome playground for any age. One for toddlers and one for older kids. The whole playground is fenced in which makes it extremely nice if you have more than one kid. One entrance/exit.

Easily one of the best parks in the area! They have something for all ages! I really appreciate how they have separated the smaller kid area from the rest of the playground. The only thing I don’t appreciate is that is it very limited to special needs kiddos- specifically with mobility limitations. However Rotary Park in Newark is much better suited for these needs! I promise your child (maybe even yourself) will enjoy this amazing playground with all its climbing, sliding, and swinging fun!
