Blithewood Ave Playground

Tucked into a quiet Worcester neighborhood, this little playground benefits from being right near Mass Audubon’s Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center, which honestly makes the whole trip feel worth it even if you’re just passing through. It’s wheelchair accessible, so families don’t have to think twice about whether everyone can join in. Not the flashiest spot in the city, but it does the job and the natural surroundings give it a laid-back feel that the bigger parks can’t always match.
