Overpeck Park Playground will make your little climber's dreams come true!
Overpeck Park Playground is a great family playground found in Ridgefield New Jersey’s 805-acre park, which surrounds Overpeck Creek. The park has something for every age, and kids will be entertained for a long time with all of the options available. The playground offers multiple slides of different heights, with the twisty slide being a favorite of the older crew. All of your little climbers will love the rock walls and super cool web climbing structure, something that will make this playground stand out to your kiddos. All of the separate jungle gym areas are super cool, with different ladders and monkey bars. It is evident which spaces are meant for older kids and which are meant for younger, though they are fairly intermixed. There really is something new and different everywhere you look in the ungated playground. There are also swings. The flooring is a rubbery mulch, so you won’t have to worry as much about the kids getting hurt if they were to fall.
There is a lot of parking available and many other cool features in the park that can turn your adventure from a quick playground trip to a full-day family outing. There are athletic fields if the playground is crowded and the kids want to run around. This is especially good if you have older kids who feel like they have aged out of the playground area. On hot summer days, older kids may also love the kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals, There are 5 miles of walking trails, which are stroller friendly. The entire park is also ADA accessible.
You should definitely plan a picnic under the great gazebo beside the playground for awesome family outdoors time together while recharging at the park. There are two concession stands within the park, one of which being the Snack Hut, which is open in the summer. Vending machines are also available if you forget to pack drinks. To accommodate your long day at Overpeck, there are also clean restroom facilities. This park really has everything you could wish for on a fun family day!
Bring binoculars - there is great potential for some impressive bird watching!
