Ian’s Playground

Locals in Bucksport will tell you Ian’s Playground punches well above its weight for a town this size. You’ve got slides, swings, a tire swing, and a solid climbing structure — enough variety that kids from toddlers up through teenagers can all find something worth their time. The basketball court and open grass field mean older kids aren’t just standing around waiting for a turn on the equipment. Restrooms on-site is a bigger deal than people give it credit for, especially with little ones in tow. It stays cleaner than most parks you’ll find in the area, and the community takes obvious pride in keeping it that way.
