I personally don’t like playgrounds- more of a wilderness gal, but this park is really really nice- there’s a gravelly beach, horse shoe pits, tennis courts, a pool, and a sprawling shady playground. Kids love it.

On the southern end is Barrett’s cove- a sand beach that’s great for kids. Across rte 52 is Maiden Cliffs trailhead- probably my favorite hike in the area. A short steep trail takes you into big granite ledges with views inland over the lake and the southern coastline. Gorgeous.
