Charlestown Square Playground

Right in the thick of Charlestown Square, this playground is one of those spots that actually makes a shopping trip with kids bearable. There are separate areas for the little ones and the older kids, so nobody’s getting bowled over by a seven-year-old on a mission. When everyone’s done burning energy, you’re already steps away from a solid feed — the food options nearby are genuinely handy, not an afterthought. Good for anywhere from babies through to tweens, which is rarer than you’d think.
