Very hit and miss, not recommended after rain it becomes a mud pit slip n slide. However it is a very nice playground, many different activities for kids just keep an eye out for trash we found a syringe one time and multiple dime baggies everytime we've gone (don't let your little ones pick up things on the ground is my best advice)

Perkins Park is a gem, located at the end of Washington Street, off South Main Street in Newark. The property, once part of the Jackson & Perkins Rose company, was set off in 1926 and donated to the village.
Over the years families have enjoyed the park for picnics, ball playing, walking, and observing wild life. There is a playground staffed by the village. Military Brook meanders through the park.
Perkins Elementary School' also situated on land donated by the Perkins family is located at the south end of the park.

Very nice place to go for a walk, a run, sit by the stream and relax or let the children play on the 2 parks. You can have a party at one of the 4 pavilion's. 2 ball fields for a great game.

While the park does have clean and unlocked bathrooms (during hours of operation), two toddler swings and a plentitude of regular swings as well as equipment for all ages, it appears to have not been maintained in years. From the old wood chips to dirty equipment to broken parts (that in some cases are a danger hazard), it's really in desperate need of attention. I hope that the community can come together to give it a basic, inexpensive face-lift that may take all but a day's work and some elbow grease.

Nice!
