The Fair Salts

If you know Rye, you know the views from Fair Salts are genuinely hard to beat — the kind that make you stop mid-sentence. The playground itself got a solid renovation not long ago, so the slides and swings are actually in good shape rather than the rusty affairs you find at half the parks round here. It works for all ages, which is rarer than it sounds. Picnic tables, benches, restrooms, parking — everything’s sorted, and parents can keep an eye on the kids without having to trail around after them. The open grass and walking path give you somewhere to stretch your legs once the little ones have worn themselves out.
