Meadowlands Play Area

Honestly one of the better-kept playgrounds in Haverhill — it doesn’t have that worn-down, forgotten feel a lot of local parks end up with. The climbing frames are split nicely between littles and older kids, and the zipline gets a solid workout on weekends. There’s a basketball court and football pitch if the kids need to burn off extra energy, plus a big open grass area that’s genuinely useful rather than just filler. Benches are well-placed and the enclosed layout means you’re not constantly chasing toddlers toward the road.
