“Love bringing my kids here to play and run! Definitely let's them run around freely in the huge field, play on the playground, we fish off the dock and walk along the "beach" as my kids call it”

Overview
Sanitarium Playground in Thorofare packs multiple activities into one waterfront location. The main playground lets kids climb and run as parents watch, and the large open field provides overflow space. A dock offers fishing access directly from the park, and the waterfront edge - affectionately called a beach by local kids - adds a shoreline play element. Evening visits reward families with some of the best sunset views in the area. The park also features holiday lighting at Christmas.
