Butternut Hollow Park

Most ideal little piece of playground paradise: very new and creative 3 story playground with insane slides that you definitely want to help your children. But has playground for smaller kids too, and cool activity centers on the sides for the kiddos too (like a musical center). It’s on the side of a beautiful pond with ducks, geese, and vultures on the sides there as well. So be careful of all the poo but totally worth running around and having some fun! Just pure fun here!

Incredible park for the kids. Features a large interactive playground, small kid and large kid equipment. There is a music station with electronic animal and piano sounds. The flooring is that soft sponge rubber that is super absorbing for falls. The park has ample benches with roof, and large trees block the sun for much shade.
There is a very nice lake with geese and ducks that will come right up next to you. Also it appears there is fish to be caught.
There are plenty of trash cans, the park was super clean, no trash seen anywhere. There are two port-a-potties. Parking spots there limited but you can park on the street when it’s full. The park also has fencing to block the street and lake. You can also walk around the lake with multiple bridges.

I wanted to take more pictures, but they would have had people I did not know in them.
There are places to sit here for lunch or if you just want to sit on the bench and look out at the lake/pond area.
The play area has a couple of sections, one for toddlers and one for bigger kids. I really like that idea.
There are about 10 parking spots and you can park on the street if need be.
2 minute drive from Washington Street in Middletown.
They do have an outhouse for public use.
I'm not sure it is a dog friendly park.

Shaded and clean park. Two little pavillions for a rest. The parking is small but there is plenty of space up along the quiet road. A good variety of equipment for all ages and groups. The sound hut has buttons for animal noises and THEY ACTUALLY WORK.
this is my new favorite park but BEWARE OF GOOSE POOP.

Amazing place for kids of all ages to have fun. I have kids 10 a day 8 and they LOVE this place.

This place was always my kids favorite, but since they renovated, its really great. Foam ground to cushion the kids if they fall or running, 2 seperate playgrounds to seperate toddlers and older kids. A mommy-and-me swing for little kids scared to swing alone. Shaded picnic tables, a lot of grass if kids just want to run, next to a nice lake. All around our favorite park to go to. Definitely recommend.

Awesome place to bring the kids. Very clean and safe place. Jungle Gym is awesome and a nice pond behind.

Great playground facility. Clean and well maintained. Though you have to watch your step on the grass, especially by the water - lots of goose poop. There's a variety of aparati for children of varying abilities to use, from toddler to 12 years old. Plenty of shade, a pavilion with table and benches, and a port-a-potty are all available. Parking is pretty limited, maybe 10 or 12 cars total.

Beautiful playground!! Kids had a blast!!

While it is a nice playground there's an awful lot of geese droppings around the play area and surrounding sidewalks and grassy areas as well.

Awesome really high playscape with safety bars at the top.
Not too much litter, well maintained.
Plenty of shaded areas.

Wonderful park! Great playscapes with multiple things to do! Great for infant/toddler up to late elementary kids! Parking lot super small, however it does appear that you can park on the side of the road next to park.

Clean,well kept park with a pond that you can walk around or watch geese.

It's an amazing park! My 18 month old and my 7 year old niece always have fun when they go. I do wish that the toddler section was bigger but all in all it's an amazing place. There's always lots of kids and the parents are super friendly. Favorite park in Middletown

My kids love this park. The only downfall is that there's is no Water fountains. But there are tables and Shaded areas.

Play area is clean, but the grass isn't. But still a great place for kids.

Awesome place for kids. Having a bigger slide which is fun

Great park for feeding ducks/geese and fishing with a up-to-date playscape and swings for the kids!

My kids love this place. Just watch out for goose poop, because they love to visit here as well! Other than that, it is a very clean place. Has picnic tables, a fishing spot, and outhouses, too.

Beautiful park. Has something for every age!

Best playground/park I've been to so far in Middletown CT my daughter loved it
