New Friends Playground

If you’ve got little ones and you live anywhere near Easton, this place is pretty much a go-to. The fence keeps the kids contained without feeling cramped, and the sightlines are genuinely good — you can actually sit in the shade and keep eyes on your kid without constantly repositioning. There’s a solid mix of equipment: slides, swings, a seesaw, and a climbing structure that keeps younger kids busy for longer than you’d expect. The open grass field out back gives older siblings somewhere to run when they’ve moved past the playground phase. It stays clean, which honestly isn’t something you can say about every park in Fairfield County.
