Borzani Playground

Tucked onto a dead-end street in Torrington, Borzani is the kind of spot where you can actually hear yourself think. The little ones have their own area with slides and swings, which keeps the chaos contained and the toddler crowd happy, while the full-size basketball court draws the older kids and teens — so honestly, it works for a pretty wide age range. There’s shaded seating if you’re the parent stuck waiting it out, and parking is easy. The open grass field is a nice bonus when someone inevitably wants to kick a ball around after.
