With the summer heat bearing down upon us, finding ways to cool off is always top of mind. We love going to the town pool, splashing around in creeks, and we're going to check out more freshwater options this year like boating and lake swimming but, for my kids, nothing beats a playground. And that's where splash pads come in! Locally, we've got Snyder Ave in Berkeley Heights and Ponderosa Farm Park in Scotch Plains which are both well worth your while! Here are the details about Ponderosa Farm Park.
Address for GPS: 1600 Cooper Rd, Scotch Plains NJ
Features: The playground is set in a huge field with ample parking, grass, picnic tables, and also a path if you want to go on a walk! There are multiple big playground structures with slides, swings, an area for younger kids, climbing ropes, and the splash pad feature is right in the middle of all this. Bathrooms are on site!
Don't forget: Lunch, water shoes, a bathing suit, change of clothes to drive home, a towel, sunscreen, chairs if you want to set up in the grass, drinking water.
