Tulip St. and Ashland Avenue, Summit, NJ (around that area, you can’t miss it, but have to do a little circling to find this shady playground). Talked to a nice lady there who likes this playground very much, because of the shade, and the children enjoy it. Conveniently, there are bathrooms right next to the playground which isn’t the case for the other popular playground in Summit. This field is huge including ballfields, basketball & tennis courts. Saw a few joggers as well.
So, I’ve been looking for good town summaries, and realtors have some really nice ones, so if you are looking to move to Summit, here’s a really well put together informational site for Summit by Sue Adler.
If you walk over to the other side of the elementary school (the corner of Asland and Tulip) you will find a second, small, very thoroughly fenced playground. The main playground’s parking lot is across from Larned Rd. on Ashland.
[...] You’ll see some of the other great resources for Summit residents including the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey , Summit YMCA and Summit’s various parks and recreational activities. [...]
