81 Weldon Road, Lake Hopatcong, NJ. Definitely one of the best playgrounds we have been to. It also has a skate park across the parking lot. *partially fenced in* (UPDATE on the partially thanks to commenter below) , and lots to do for pre-school, school-age kids. Has a great sandbox with toys, swings, slides, and restrooms nearby.
Thanks to Amy Lamperti of “the playground guide” (for Morris County). Her guide is excellent covering 250+ playgrounds, with recommendations on other fun activities or dining near the playground.

We loved this playground, especially the spinners. Just a note: the skate park across the street is now (summer 2009) closed for safety concerns.
does anyone know if the skatepark is open again?
I just visited this playground yesterday with my kids. It was a great, but it is not fully fenced in, as it is described to be. In fact, only one side of the playground has a fence. As well, the wheelchair swing is no longer there.
I would suggest not visiting this playground during these 90-degree days being that there is not one area that has shade. If you do go on a hot day, I suggest waiting until the evening, like around 6:00 when it was much more tolerable.
thanks Danni, we updated our post on the partially fenced part
