Another fine guest post by Sara Rall-
Victor Crowell Park playground at the corner of Green Ave and Willow Dr. in Middlesex is a lovely shady park alongside a river. The playground has a structure for older children and one for very young.
There is also a big plastic climbing wall and a cute bird seesaw. All this is at one end of a closed off road perfect for perfecting your biking skills that runs along beautiful “Lake” Creighton (really more of a large pond) with an interesting bridge and fishing docks. At the far end is an interesting 9-11 memorial.

Geez….Not one picture of the lake (pond) or the boat house (is it still there) or the waterfall or a kid catching a catfish or carp or sledding down the hill? Well, thanks for these pics especially the “green” bridge that I had to walk over to get to Watchung School when I was a kid (kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 5th grades), where I caught hundreds of catfish, where we caught a giant snapper turtle, which served as the 1/2 mile point from the house when I used to run out-of-season for high school track and cross country.
