Playgrounds are a treasure provided as a common good. For those traveling with kids, or just on a long day of errands, a stop at a playground gives everyone a needed break.
Here is a list of playgrounds in the NEK. Not all are fancy, but are adequate.
In Vermont, most public school playgrounds are open to the public and serve as community playgrounds as well.
When the weather is not ideal, consider local libraries. Most have children’s room to let kids play. Please be respectful to allow them to remain available to all.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Grace Weaver
After living in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont for almost a decade, I have come to appreciate this scrappy corner of the iconic state. I have also navigated the transition from solo travel to reluctant partner travel to family travel. We venture on day trips, local road trips, relaxing vacations, and once rented a sleeper van in another country.
I'd love to inspire people to travel who are interested but don't think they can. I will provide tips, confidence boosters, what works for us and how to pivot when plans don't work out. I believe anywhere can make for an interesting experience with the right perspective.
My travel inspirations: Lonely Planet guides, Eva Zu Bek, Eamon & Bec
