Located on W. Bennett Ave. between Hamilton Ave. and Jefferson St. in Kearny, Coogan Park, also known as Manor Park is a great big newly redone park with the soft rubber ground. Two climbing structures and a swing structure with nice park benches facing the play area in a beautiful open grassy area. The play area has some shade from the tops of the play equipment and from a few near-by trees, but it is mostly pretty open.

These pictures are very old!! They’ve re-done the entire playground. No more woodchips and the equipment is all brand new!! My 22 month old loves this playground!

This is a great playground! Especially for little ones, it is padded all around and the equipment is brand new.
PS – there is no “e” at the end of Kearny. 😉
Ok pictures are updated!!! And I apologize to all Kearny residents for spelling your town wrong! Enjoy!
admin, Do your homework before writing an article, obsolete photo and double check your spelling. Misspelling a town you are reporting on. Maybe you should change careers, for sure you wouldn’t be hired by the Times.
