Pepperell’s Big Backyard

If you grew up in Pepperell, there’s a good chance you spent a chunk of your childhood here. That kind of multigenerational pull is rare, and it’s exactly why locals get a little protective of this place. Kids have room to actually run around without bumping into each other, which sounds basic but matters more than people admit. The fact that it reopened meant a lot to the community — you could feel it. Worth the trip even if you’re coming in from outside town.
