Asukayama Park is a little suburban gem.
It is approximately 18 mins from Tokyo Station if you travel by train to Oji Station.
The playground is incredible (although the slides are steep so, while my 4 year old was fine, I chose to ride with my 2 year old for safety reasons. There is a “toddler” playground if you prefer to avoid the big slides) There is an old tram and steam engine for kids to explore too. The park is particularly spectacular in Cherry Blossom season and I can imagine Autumn is also breath-taking.
There are plenty of restrooms and change tables and ramps around the park, which makes it really easy with strollers.
This park also has a splash pool during Summer so you might want to bring a towel and extra clothing etc.

There are actually 2 more parks in the same area as Asakuyama Park. See my post on Tokyo Retro Playgrounds for more info.
