When it comes to outdoor fun and adventure, Manchester-Bedford 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, Manchester-Bedford 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 Manchester-Bedford with you.

New Boston Town Hall Playground
5 Meetinghouse Hill Rd
New Boston
What we love about New Boston Town Hall Playground:
My kids enjoyed New Boston Town Hall Playground. The playground is on the smaller side. There were two different climbing walls to explore. The playground had two toddler swings next to the structure. Up a small hill (which was also fun to run up and roll down) there were 5 swings and 1 toddler swing. There is also a baseball field there which was an extra space for running around!
⭐This playground would be good for kids around 2 and older.
Amenities at New Boston Town Hall Playground:
- 🚻Porta-Potty (when we went there was one porta-potty)
- A field to run - as long as there is no baseball or softball going on!
- Swings!
- Climbing structures
