214 Main Street, Chatham, NJ- located in the back of the library. Great playground for toddlers. The kids had a great time, plenty of playground equipment adjacent to a fenced in pool (for town residents). Really nice people were there this past Sunday. I really enjoy Chatham parks. Partially fenced, and there is a basketball court and ballfield there too.

This was a nice, shady park with plenty of interesting equipment. We like the log cabin theme. My kids didn’t want to leave.
