When it comes to outdoor fun and adventure, Central MA boasts some of the best playgrounds and parks that will keep kids entertained for hours. From swings and slides to climbing walls and water features, these local parks and playgrounds keep my kids active, provide great opportunities to meet old friends and make new ones, and best of all, they're FREE!
I often get asked about our favorite playgrounds, so I thought I'd share my family's top playgrounds and parks in Auburn and Beyond with you.
