Farrell Field, South Orange, NJ

298 Walton Avenue, South Orange, NJ.  Very close to Maplewood border. 

Small nice shady park, and red tubes give kids plenty of opportunity to crawl through them.  A few spaces for parking and it was pretty quiet when we went.  Less popular than Memorial Park in Maplewood, also targeted for littler kids though you could argue it is a bit more advanced (climbing wise).  Benches surround the park, so you can adjust as the sun changes position (we were there a bit)

Thanks to the maplewood/south orange message board, I was able to find this little gem. 

Had a friendly conversation with a nanny there while the boys had fun.  No bathroom close by from what I saw.  And the ballfield looks a bit worn.  See pictures below.
