Where: Between Meadow Wood Roads and Cedar Road, Lyndhurst
What: This is a community area that also has baseball diamonds and a pool. The parking lot is in the front of the pool area and you have to walk back behind the pool to get to this play area. Sunview School is adjacent to the west.
What's good: There are two climbers, petite and full-sized. The one geared for ages 5-12 features prominently in photo 1 (above). The tubes are killer, but little kids would slide right into the pit of the tube and then not be able to crawl out. The small climber is much better for smaller children, even those who are four or five. Good toddler swings (even though there are only 2)....they are a good height. There is also a pavilion snack area and a sandbox. The whiparound doesn't really "whip" so much as dawdle, but the twins were still a little woozy afterward.
Not good: The parking situation is a little weird in that there is no immediately adjacent parking that I could see. If a meltdown occurs you'd have to drag said meltdowner around the whole pool kicking and screaming. No fun there. I can imagine a brave youngster attempting those tubes and panicking because he couldn't crawl out. Other than that, this park is win.
