Kendall Street

Tucked into a quiet Chicopee neighborhood, this is the kind of spot locals know about and out-of-towners don’t. It’s nothing flashy, but that’s kind of the point — a no-frills play area where kids can just run around without a lot of fuss. The athletic field nearby means older kids usually wander over there while the little ones do their thing. Worth calling ahead if accessibility is a concern, since details on that can be hard to pin down online.
