Such a fun and well-designed playground! Regatta Playground is one of our favorite spots in Essex County. The play structures are modern, creative, and great for a wide range of ages — from toddlers to older kids. There are climbing walls, swings, slides, and unique rope features that keep kids active and engaged for hours. The surface is soft and safe, and the whole area feels clean and well-maintained. Parents will appreciate the shaded benches and the scenic walking paths nearby. Bonus: it’s right next to the waterfront and the paddle boat area, which makes it easy to turn a short stop into a full family outing. Highly recommend for a fun, active day outdoors!
