44 Longstreet Road, Holmdel, NJ. (Hilltop Playground and Longstreet Farm Section) For official website, click here… Can I say I’m loving twitter, I keep getting great photos and recommendations from people and they are sharing like crazy. So here is a great guest post from Donna R. who has some really cute kids. It looks like you can pet the pigs, and also chase some chickens. I hope she’ll comment, because I’m posting her photos and could use a little narrative. This is our 2nd post on Holmdel Park, because I didn’t fully explore it the first time, but that’s why we are all about the feedback. The spongy floor looks awesome for young crawlers, and I’m looking forward to going when my 3rd is ready to get out of precious lil lump mode
Here are some pictures, and would greatly appreciate comments! Also here’s a link for the Forest Edge section of Holmdel Park (with wood chips, but still lots of fun)






















We LOVE the newly renovated Hilltop Playground at Holmdel Park. Not only is it a beautiful play space but it truly has something for every family member. We visited the park early on a Saturday morning for a breakfast picnic and found it to be just delightful. There’s lots of shade and comfy spots for caregivers to sit and watch the kids play. There is a tiny tot area for those who are just crawling or learning to walk, a medium sized area for preschool age tots and a larger play structure for the more experienced climbers. The giant rope sphere is the highlight of the playground. There are also two baby bucket swigs as well as a super cool giant disc swing (see photos.) And to top it all off, the entire playground has the soft, cushy floor we parents all love. The structures both challenge a child’s physical abilities and provide endless enjoyment. We were there for nearly three hours and my oldest (5) didn’t want to leave.
We ended our park day with a short jaunt around Longstreet Farm (just down the hill from the playground) which is always a treat. On this trip we got to see 12 or so baby pigs and a very busy momma pig all rolling in the mud. The kids were thrilled.
