What’s there

The playground has a farm theme that fits Sherborn. The main play structure is shaped like a barn, with slides, a climbing wall, and a ladder, and a little tractor next to it has an 01770 license plate, Sherborn’s ZIP code.

There are swings for babies and older kids, including a high-back support swing, plus a saucer swing and a rope climbing net. A big sandbox is built around a pretend Sherborn Farm Stand and a turtle, and there are benches around the edges for parents.

A community project

Sherborn kids drew up their ideas for the playground, and community volunteers built it by hand in 2015, making it a true community project.

Parking

The playground’s parking lot is off Cemetery Lane, marked by a Ward J. Parks Recreation Area sign. The lot is shared with Jameson Fields and the skate park, so it can be busy during baseball and softball games.
