Hi Moms!
We are just relocating from Cleveland to Morristown. I was hoping you could help me out with some playgrounds / parks I could take my 2 and 4 year old to! They are use to playing out with friends all the time and so I am trying to make this change as smooth as possible! Thanks for your help!
Our fave is Burnham Park, but there are other good ones. Be sure to check out MATAM (Moms & Tots and More). We have weekly dinner playdates at the parks...

My husband's uncle retired from the Morris Couty Parks Commission a few years ago. I can find out from him the names & locations of some parks. Knowing him, he may still have some information on them (he keeps everything). I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from him.
You should look at http://www.njplaygrounds.com/blog-n-photos/. It is a fairly comprehensive listings of playgrounds. Good luck!
Burnham Park has already been mentioned here. Another favorite is Loantaka Brook Reservation. It has a playground and walking/biking trails. We also like going to Lewis Morris Park. It's slightly farther but has a lake where you can swim during summer. Also has a playground and walking trails.
Morristown also has a few pools and you can join one of the them depending on where you'll live. Kids spend a lot of time there in the summer. In general, it's a nice town with friendly people and lots of activities for children.
Good luck with your transition!
check out njplaygrounds.com. it is a great site!
also a book called the playground guide covering morris county.
good luck and happy playing:)
