Great park, with an awesome playground that is divided (by age) into into 3 play areas (a new to walking area for children up to 2 years old, a 2-5 year old area, and a 5-12 year old area). There's an area for swings, also by age/size, a sandbox nook, and a sprinkler area (which is seperate from the playground).
There are a few sitting places throughout the playground where the benches swing and a small pavillion that has restrooms with stalls which make it perfect for lunch or a small party. The whole playground is fenced-in so worrying about our little ones running out of site and into the danger of on coming cars kind of dissipates...kind of 😬.....
The park also has a lawn area behind the playground and sprinkler area if you drive further down.
The park hosts, usually mid spring, a food truck fest...not sure what it's officially called. Worth going to on an uneventful weekend.
There are also tennis courts! And a decent amount of parking space.
*note; if you're not familiar with the area, you may drive by it at first, it's a little tricky spotting the entrance due to the the trees and shrubbery blocking the view of the...
Read moreAs Marrying a girl from Milford I sort of adapted it as my second home. It has a lot to offer residents. I found a DIAMOND in the rough! Eisehower Park is an up and comming residential park on the outdoor of the town near the town of Orange border. My wife and I walked the magnificent trails and viewed an up and comming state of the art playground,tennis courts, Dog Park and yes even a pond hopefully will be in the repair works offering fishermen some action with large mouth Bass, catfish and perch. There is also the Wepawaug river that runs through the park offering trout fishing now. You do need a fishing Licsense. An ample off street parking lot makes it easy to park and participate in the sport of your choice. Great place for family's to have fun on the weekends.Great place for seniors like us to feel young again. And the greatest thing of all, it's FREE. Try it!...
Read moreThe new splash pad took what had been our favorite playground and park during our frequent visits to see grandma and grandpa, and turned it into a full blown additional reason to go visit them!!
Considering the absence of any public pools in the town for kids/families (a real crime in my eyes! Having grown up in upstate NY with lots of free public pools, and living here in NYC with lots of great public pools), this splash pad feels like a long time coming and absolutely necessary.
It was a wonderful addition to the park/neighborhood and our 4yr old was as in love as we were on a super hot, humid, 90+ temperature day!! Public bathrooms, water fountains and a water bottle filling station as well makes it a great spot to take kids of all ages.
One note, there is not a ton of shade with the newly planted trees still small, so be...
