Betty Price Playground

Locals know this Worcester spot delivers more than your typical city playground. The equipment is split up by age, so the little ones aren’t getting bowled over by bigger kids, and there’s even a fitness area for adults who want to squeeze in a workout while the kids burn off energy. Soft surfaces underfoot make it a safer bet for the 2-and-under crowd, and the slides and swings are solid crowd-pleasers. Grab a picnic table, unpack some snacks, and you’ve got decent city views to look at while you wait for someone to decide they’re finally ready to leave.
