A great artificial turf playground in a small block tucked away from the busy and dangerous intersection of Grove & Grand St. The beauty of this playground is the kids don’t get muddy if it starts to rain😍 This cute little playground has swings, a seesaw, slides, a merry-go-round you can scale, and a secure gate latch so little ones don’t escape πŸ›πŸ‘ And the bonus is it is part of the Historic Morris Canal Update: Seesaw removed ~Feb β€˜24.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with young children who want a clean, secure playground experience. The artificial turf makes it ideal for rainy day visits when other playgrounds would be muddy. However, timing matters as it can get overrun with school children, so consider visiting during school hours or weekends.

Overview

The park opened in 2020 in Liberty Harbor and includes pram-accessible paths.
