John P. Denicola Park Treadwell Street, Hamden, CT 06517

"Nice little park with swing sets and a walking trail. Off street parking."

"Love the space. Kids can be free and are always in line of sight. I take the kids because it's actually my favorite place to breathe."

"They have basket ball court and play area for kids to enjoy."

"Very nice park. Picnic tables and very quiet. Perfect for the family. The have a playground."

"The playground here is really wonderful! I highly recommend it. It is fully visible from the street and easy to find, but set back a good distance from the road. The road is also not heavily trafficked. The playground is large, fenced, and has many varied play structures for different age sets (from toddlers through primary ages). These include swings, slides, various climbing structures, a very fun and large seesaw, a toy train, natural features such as trees, and more. The playground is well-shaded and usually clean. There are benches for adults who need to sit, and there is a working water fountain for those who need to hydrate. It never feels crowded, but there are often one or two others for playmates. The playground seems especially well-visited among the toddler and preschool sets. Note that the ground is covered with wood chips. The only thing I wish (and thus one star short of a five-star recommendatiom) is that it was fully accessible for kids and adults with mobility challenges."
