Hainesport Township Municipal Park
Hainesport

BATHROOMSPARKING
A great local park with plenty of room for kids to run around and play. This is a nice, easy park stop when you just want to get out of the house without turning it into a whole big production.
Laurel Acres Park
Mount Laurel Township
 ▾
BATHROOMSPARKING
A family favorite with separate playground areas for different ages and a more toddler-friendly feel. It’s a great one for longer park days thanks to the walking paths, open space, and overall easy layout for families.

BATHROOMSPARKING
A solid local park with space for kids to play and burn off energy. This feels like one of those simple, dependable neighborhood spots that works well when you want an easy outing.
Wood Park
Cinnaminson
 ▾
BATHROOMSPARKING
Recently renovated, Wood Park features newer playground equipment—some of which may feel a bit tall for younger kids. There are bathrooms available on-site and plenty of parking, which is always a win. There are about two baby swings available, and the playground is not fully fenced. While the township considers this an inclusive playground, it does not fully meet the standards outlined under Jake’s Law. That said, it’s still a solid spot for families looking to get outside and play.
Evesboro-Downs Park
Marlton
▾
CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS FULLY FENCED
Playground Update:
Evesboro-Downs Park is currently closed for renovations. We'll update this guide once construction is complete and the playground reopens.
Currently under construction, so this one is more of a keep-an-eye-on-it park for now. Once complete, it should be a great one to have on your radar for Burlington County families.

A great park for making an afternoon out of your visit. In addition to the playground, you'll find walking trails, picnic tables, plenty of shade, bathrooms, and ample parking.

💡 Mom Tip: The playground is tucked inside Haddon Lake Park, so the easiest way to find it is by tapping the GPS link below. It'll take you directly to the playground instead of other areas of the park.
Wish Upon a Star Park
Barrington
 ▾
FULLY FENCED
This one gets it. There’s a special gated crawler zone with a tiny house and rubber flooring—great for new walkers or crawlers. You’ll also find musical instruments and equipment perfect for smaller kids. The main playground isn’t gated. 
Scott Merulla Playground
Bellmawr
 ▾
FULLY FENCED
Small toddler-sized equipment and fully fenced — it’s a simple, safe spot that lets you breathe for once.
Barlow Park
Cherry Hill
 ▾
This playground is a small playground in a residential area. There is fencing, but it is not considered a fully fenced playground with a latch, so if you’ve got a runner, this may not be the best spot.

What makes it a good playground for toddlers is that the equipment is low to the ground and it’s usually not very busy, except when they are hosting a game on the field next to the playground.
Lion's Den Playground
Cherry Hill
 ▾
SHADED FULLY FENCED
One of Cherry Hill's hidden gems for little ones! The entire playground is fully fenced, making it much easier to keep an eye on adventurous toddlers. There are toddler-friendly play structures, baby swings, benches for parents, and plenty of mature trees that provide natural shade throughout the playground.
Mom Tip: If you've got a runner, this is one of the best playgrounds in Cherry Hill. The fencing gives little ones plenty of room to explore while giving parents a little extra peace of mind.
Chapel Ave Park
Cherry Hill
 ▾
FULLY FENCED
Fully gated with lower equipment that won’t give you anxiety. There are parent & me swings along with baby swings.
Warning: there is a soccer field behind the park and sometimes on the weekends they have soccer games so finding parking can be a challenge during those times.
Garden State Rotary Complex
Cherry Hill
 ▾
FULLY FENCEDPARKING
Split personality in the best way: one side has a lovely fenced-in toddler area, and the other side is for the big kids. No mixing your brave toddler with the older kids flying off the monkey bars!
Gregory Dalessio Park
Cherry Hill
 ▾
FULLY FENCED
Another fully gated win! Toddler-sized gear, baby swings, and the cutest little rocket ship see-saws. 🚀 Bring snacks and let them burn energy while you sip your iced coffee in peace. The park is fully gated but there is no gated door at the entrance. 
Parent note: The big kid section is seriously big and some parts are high—super fun for older kids, but keep fearless toddlers close.
Jake’s Place
Cherry Hill
 ▾
FULLY FENCEDBATHROOMSPARKING
Rubber surface, lots of toddler-friendly features, and fully gated. No baby swings, but the space makes up for it with easy-to-climb structures and lots of room to roam.
Lummis Park
Cherry Hill
 ▾
PARKING
A smaller neighborhood playground that’s great for a quick “we need to get out of the house” kind of stop. It’s simple, low-key, and a nice option for younger kids without turning the outing into a whole production.
Springbrook Park
Cherry Hill
 ▾
FULLY FENCED
Fully fenced, quiet, and the equipment isn’t too high—so it’s toddler-friendly all around. Street parking only and, fair warning, no bathrooms (which is always a gamble in toddler land).
Knight Park Playground
Collingswood
 ▾
BATHROOMS
Soft surface, mini equipment for crawlers and early walkers, and lots of grass for picnic blankets or letting baby roll around. Partial fence, so you’ll still want your running shoes on.
Bonus: During the summer they sometimes turn on the car-washer sprayer which helps on hot days.
Mountwell Playground
Haddonfield
 ▾
The playground renovations have officially been completed! While the park has a fresh new look with updated equipment, many of the unique features that made Mountwell such a favorite have unfortunately been removed. The beloved sandbox and the large collection of community toys (ride-on cars, trucks, diggers, and more) are no longer there. The playground still appears to be gated, though I'm currently unsure whether the front gate has a working latch.
Catalina Hill Playground
Gloucester Township
 ▾
FULLY FENCED
Newly remodeled, and fully gated — which is every parent’s dream!
📍 667 Pasadena Drive, Gloucester Township, NJ 08049
Parent Tip: This park is a little hidden! It’s located at the corner of Pasadena Drive & S Beverly Court, right next to the baseball fields. If you're using GPS, it may not bring you directly to the playground but it will bring you in the area. Be sure you go down Beverly to the Glendora Little League stand.
Cooper River Playground
Pennsauken
 ▾
BATHROOMS
This brand new playground is a total win for little ones. Soft, squishy flooring, a designated toddler and baby section, shaded seating for grown-ups, baby-and-me swings, and parent-child swings for older toddlers who still want to ride with you. Total parenting win.
Jake’s Home Playground
Pennsauken
 ▾
FULLY FENCEDBATHROOMS
Jake’s Home Playground is the newest addition to the Jake’s Place family of inclusive playgrounds—and it’s a great one for families. This brand-new space is fully fenced and features zip lines, plenty of shade, low-to-the-ground equipment, and even a grassy knoll that’s perfect for picnics during warmer weather. A big bonus for parents: the Pennsauken Library is directly behind the park, giving you easy access to bathrooms. And if you need fuel before or after playtime, there’s a Starbucks right across the street—because playground adventures are always better with coffee.
📍 2400 Merchantville Ave, Pennsauken, NJ 08110
Passante Playground
Somerdale
 ▾
FULLY FENCEDBATHROOMS
Passante Playground just got a fresh makeover! It’s got wood chip flooring (so… not exactly soft), but the big win? It’s fully fenced and there’s a bathroom on-site — cue the happy dance and emergency potty run celebrations!

Red Bank Battlefield Park

IT TRULY TAKES A VILLAGE

 

This guide is truly a group effort—built with input from so many South Jersey moms, parents, and caregivers who have been there, done that, and want to help others do the same.

If you’re submitting a playground to be added, try to include what makes it stand out—things like special features, safety elements, or why it works well for babies or toddlers. Those little details go a long way in helping other families plan their outings.

And just a gentle reminder: what works perfectly for one family might not be the best fit for another—and that’s okay. You know your kids best, so always trust your gut when choosing what feels right for your crew. 💛
