About the Venue

Josh's Jungle All Abilities Playground is Hamden's signature inclusive playground and sits beside the Hamden Library on Dixwell Avenue. The town describes it as an all-abilities playground that is completely fenced in and laid out like a giant maze for kids to explore. Its central location makes it an easy stop for local families, and the fenced layout is especially appealing for caregivers who want a more contained outdoor visit. It works best as a neighborhood-style play stop rather than a large destination park day.
