Alexandria Township Park Playground in Milford NJ (with Photos)

 

Alexandria Township Park Playground in Milford New Jersey is a pretty awesome playground tucked back in the park. The playground is fully fenced in so on your first glimpse of it, it’s hard to realize just how much fun is packed within that fencing.

Step inside and you’ll find different activities and structures to keep the kids busy and happy for quite a while.

10 Things to Know About Alexandria Township Park Playground in Milford

As part of our challenge to write about 100 New Jersey playgrounds in 100 days we bring you the details about Alexandria Township Park Playground, a playground in Milford. This playground also goes by the title Kidtopia playground.

Where is Alexandria Township Park Playground located?

This playground is located at 242 Little York, Mount Pleasant Road in Milford in Hunterdon County. It is not visible from the road. Turn into the park and head towards the center of the park to locate the playground. The park is part of the Alexandria Township park system.

We first featured this playground in 2014. We returned August 4, 2022 for a new look at the playground. The equipment is the same so it does have some signs of aging as in faded paint and missing panels from the fencing, but it’s still in great shape and we had no concerns about safety during our visit. Our pictures and details are based on our August 2022 visit.

What kind of playground equipment does Alexandria Township Park have?

This is an amazing playground with two playground structures, some stand-alone structures, swings, and slides.

A Red Roof Playground

In one area of the playground is a small structure, I’ll call it the red roof playground. It offers fun activities on each side and play at the ground level and one level up.

A Sensory Play Maze

I don’t know if this area has any official name but since the sensory panels are set up almost like a maze, I’m calling it a sensory play maze. Each panel seemed to have an activity on each side. The pathway was also wide enough that a stroller could get through it and maybe wheelchairs.

A large playground structure

The largest playground structure was the most intriguing. From the front or side, it looks like it just has these really cool slides, but as you walk around each side you’ll find there are multiple ways to climb and even more slides.

Are there swings?

There are two swing sets at this playground. The first has 4 traditional swings.

The second swing set includes 1 traditional swing, 2 baby swings, and 1 molded bucket accessible swing. The molded bucket swing did not have a bucket.

Are there slides?

The red roof playground and the largest playground structure both had slides. The red roof playground has a straight side-by-side slide.

The largest playground structure has a wavy side-by-side slide with 3 paths, a slightly curvy side-by-side slide with 2 paths, and 2 tall slides that start at the top together but then curve out from each other.

What special features does the playground offer?

The red roof playground offers a few different ways to climb and some sensory play.

The most climbing features are on the largest playground structure. There are a few different climbing walls and ladders.

In addition to that the same structure offers monkey bars, a zip line, tunnel, and more.

If that wasn’t enough there is a 4 person see-saw.

Is the playground at Alexandria Township Park accessible?

This playground is slightly accessible. Though the grass wasn’t high, there is not a paved path to the playground from the parking lot.

There is a slightly accessible swing. It’s one of the bucket swings but it doesn’t have a seatbelt.

Attached to the monkey bars and zip line structure is a hand and foot bike. I believe it can be used by children and adults, whether in a wheelchair or stroller or not, to develop hand and leg muscles.

There is ground-level sensory play on the playgrounds, but what I loved the most as far as the accessible play was the sensory play maze I described above.

Is there shade available at the Alexandria Township Park Playground? 

The playground sits in the full sun but there are ways to get some shade. In the center of the playground is a large canopy that covers picnic tables. While the playground is the same this is a new shade for the canopy.

The red roof playground covers the inner playspace and the top level provides shade for the bottom level. On the largest playground, there is a small play area under the equipment.

Bonus information we want you to know about Alexandria Township Park 

This is a park packed with open green spaces and plenty of hills. Kids will love running up them and rolling down! If playing on the playground doesn’t wear out the kids rolling on the hills will.

There is a riding arena for horses.

Because of those open green spaces, you may be lucky enough to catch a view of hot air balloons or hand gliders on your playground visit.
