Playground

There’s a decent little setup here in Andover — slides, swings, and a sandbox that the younger ones always seem to make a beeline for. Nothing flashy, but it’s got a solid mix of equipment that keeps kids of most ages reasonably entertained. The real bonus is the lake nearby, which makes for a nice loop walk while the kids burn off energy — handy if you’ve got a dog or just need to stretch your legs. It’s the kind of spot locals come back to regularly precisely because it’s relaxed and unpretentious.
