From the reviews

Free parking and play area for kids of all ages. Climbing rocks and walls, spider ropes, swings, monkey bars, slides, seesaw and lots of area to run and play. There are walking and biking trails, nice spot for dogs. Nearby is a swan and paddle boat rental at the lake.

★★★★★ — Sporadic, Jul 2018

Such a fun and well-designed playground! Regatta Playground is one of our favorite spots in Essex County. The play structures are modern, creative, and great for a wide range of ages — from toddlers to older kids.

★★★★★ — Kristina, Aug 2025

Took our toddler here while visiting from out of town. Very nice clean park with good parking across the seat. It was too crowded for my liking and a kid ran his scootie over my foot. Think parents should be more vigilant however the park itself is nice and there were lots of options for us to keep the toddler busy

★★★★☆ — Muz, May 2025

Great place for family fun. Large playground with several areas, plenty of seating for parents overlooking the lake. Large parking lot, picnic areas and trails. Large clean restrooms.
