Sherborn Playground

Locals with kids in Sherborn know this spot delivers for pretty much every age group, from wobbly toddlers in the sandbox to older kids shooting hoops on the basketball court. The fenced play area is a genuine relief if you’ve got a runner — swings and slides keep the little ones busy while you actually sit down for a minute on one of the shaded benches. Those shade trees aren’t decorative either; on a hot July afternoon they make a real difference. The open grass field gives kids room to spread out, and the restrooms and parking mean you can actually stay a while without planning around logistics.
