Children’s Playground

If you’re anywhere near Newark in spring, this playground during cherry blossom season is genuinely one of those spots that stops you in your tracks. The treehouse climbing structure keeps kids busy for way longer than you’d expect, and the spiral slide gets a solid workout from the toddler crowd and older kids alike. It’s the kind of place where a quick 20-minute stop somehow turns into two hours. Works well for a range of ages, so siblings aren’t fighting over whether it’s worth the trip.
