Sherborn Playground

What happens when you go looking for ice cream and end up in Sherborn and your phone map shows the Sherborn playground only 100 feet away? Well, you find a new playground that you love.

Completely fenced in (with a Free Little Library!), it's a great playground for both kids.  While there is a smaller play structure for smaller kids, mine love the bigger structure that has a rock wall of sorts! It's Emma's favorite.  Tyler enjoys "steering the ship" and spinning on the tire swing. 

The whole playground is great for imaginary play; I especially love the theater area and the "farmer's market".  

The Sherborn Playground can be found at Cemetary Lane, Sherborn, conveniently right down the street from C&L Frosty, which has delicious food and ice cream!

John J Lane Park, Natick

Finding this park was just luck really.  We didn't realize how great it would be.  Again, we were looking for Free Little Libraries so we could get more books and there is a small library right at the entrance to the park!

The park itself is great! It is almost in the shape of an oval with some extra paths stemming off it.  In addition to the climbing "rocks", there is a play structure, swings, and a volleyball court.  The covered pavilion was great for a rest out of the sun, but Tyler and I were content just laying in the grass in the field. Our favorite part was the "exercise area" in the back.  It was a great area to work on our box jumps and pull ups. 

There is also a path that goes up to an outdoor "theater". At the bottom of the hill, there's a very large community garden too!

It's a great space to bring the kids for the afternoon and we'll be there even more this summer!

John J Lane Park is located at 158 Speen St in Natick. Parking is free and the restrooms are open from April to October. Additionally, the park is a carry in, carry out venue- there are no trash cans so be cognizant of your trash!

Lcpl. Matthew Rodriguez Playground aka Airport Playground, New Bedford

We're always looking for great playgrounds and we stumbled on a small, but really fun playground. most of our favorite playgrounds are huge, sprawling places with lots of things to do, but sometimes it's nice to have a smaller playground where I can see the kids wherever they are and sit and relax for a bit.

The playground is located at the New Bedford Airport (1569 Airport Rd, New Bedford, MA 02746) and is mostly fenced in.  The kids love that it butts right up to the airport runways and they can watch the airplanes as they play. 

It's such a fun place to spend an hour-- what other playgrounds do you love?
