I’m closely working with Amy Lamperti of the Playground Guide, a comprehensive guide to all the playgrounds in Sussex County. This is an excerpt from her fantastic listing about the Hand in Hand Playground at Veteran’s Memorial Park. Over 40 of Sussex County parks are featured with color pictures in this guide + helpful information on every park in the county. These include parks in the north section of Sussex- Stokes State Park in Sandyston, Rolling Hills Primary School in Vernon, Clifton E. Lawrence School in Wantage, High Point State Park and Woodbourne Park. Please support our efforts in providing parents information for them to enjoy the outdoors with their kids by clicking on this link. Each purchase through the link helps us keep going and finding new places to explore

HERE IS A MAP- since some have had trouble locating this place-
I tried to find this park and I couldn’t. I tried to google directions, I use mapquest. Is the park still there? I used your directions and I couldn’t find it. It looks great. I know they took the play structure down from Horse Shoe Lake, so I am wondering if this one has been taken down as well.
I wish I knew, the Vernon Twp site doesn’t give much info.. so sorry you went to the trouble of looking for it! If anyone else knows something, please post it in this section! Thanks
