I suppose that if I had never been to Kids Castle in Doylestown and/or maybe if I lived in the area I would think more highly of Field of Dreams but quite honestly the place came off as very underwhelming to me + the children. From what I found online the park is now nineteen years old and last had work done to it in 2012. The problem is that it looks like since the 2012 maintenance nothing has happened. Boards around the perimeter fence are currently broken in half-kicked out, lots of grass/weeds growing in the mulch play area near the swings and there was an orange traffic cone sitting in the sand box which meant it shouldn’t be used? It’s also worth noting to a non-local that since the park doesn’t have a physical address per se, it is slightly awkward trying to find the place. Looking for the tiny sign by the police station/public works building is not the easiest way to find anything. It was nice to try something different but by no means is this park five star material once you’ve seen other wooden parks in different areas and if we were in the area maybe we would come back but by no means would I go out of my way for another visit.

An amazing hidden gem that is worth looking for. This playground is beautiful, well maintained, and safe for kids of any age. It’s quite large, too, so even on a busy day there is plenty of room for everyone. There’s not much else to say; look at the pictures and dare yourself to not be a little jealous of anyone who’s still young(at heart) enough to go here and play!

Love this park! Actually, there’s a wall in the back that could use some rock climbing holds. Other than that, well maintained, a lot of fun! My daughter loves it. Could be good for beginner freerunners so long as they practice while it’s empty.

This hidden gem of a playground is worth finding if you’re in the West Deptford or Woodbury area and have little ones with extra energy to burn. It’s a large wooden structure playground with little forts, slides and all manner of fun stuff for kids of all ages to discover. It’s even more fun than it looks in the photos I posted(methinks at least). The structure is really large & adults can can follow their kids most places on it if so desired. There are just a few spots where a young child could really take a tumble to the ground below, but that’s the hazards of childhood. I kept a sharp eye on kid #1 until pretty recently. He loves this playground the best out of our small rotation though. There are also swings, a balance beam thing, slides and a sandbox. Picnic tables are around for parents & there’s a small pavilion area I’ve seen co-opted for birthday parties. I don’t think they do reservations like at Chestnut Branch park in Mantua. There’s a much larger pavilion there, but the playground itself is not nearly as nice. The location is off of Crown Point Road past the library & police station if coming from Delaware St. Take the first right AFTER the light at police. There is a small sign. Follow the winding road back to the Little League field. Ample parking and a bathroom that is usually open are available. Sometimes the baseball snack bar will be open during season. We even caught a game once on a whim. Well, part of an inning! 3 year olds are notoriously fickle.
