Have you ever searched “park with no woodchips”?

How often do you hear your sandal wearer complain about having to take their footwear off to remove them?

Are you a germaphobe?

Most of the NJ Playgrounds we have visited have wood chips for ground cover, but for Father’s Day here’s a special gift, no-wood chips!

Here are some cool parks that feature other surfaces.  Make sure you click on each park to take a look at the photos for that playground.  Have we missed a park?  Comment below!
