This one reminds me of a beloved playground of my youth in Rochester, NY that we just called, “Wooden Playground.” This one is huge – plan to be here a while!

A playground with adjacent restrooms is a rarity but you can find a nice playground structure with bathrooms next to it. Plus it is a gorgeous place to take a walk or have a picnic before or after your playground time!

Richard J Brown Playground

Is this in Massachusetts? No. Is it just a 35 minute drive from Ipswich and so worth it! It is a brand new playground with some of the best slides and swings I've ever seen! Plus, it has accessible elements as well! Plenty of parking.
