Branch Brook Children's Playground
Located near Lake Street in Branch Brook Park, this playground has lots of shade and is close to walking paths. The play area features a large structure with multiple slides, bridges, and platforms connected by ramps. There are bucket swings for toddlers and regular swings for older kids.
A fenced-in toddler section provides smaller equipment and a safe space away from faster-moving children. The entire area is surrounded by mature trees, making it one of the coolest spots in the park on sunny days.
Parking is available along Lake Street or in nearby park lots. After playing, you can take a stroll around the lake or visit the cherry blossom groves if they're in season. This spot is a neighborhood favorite, especially during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival.
