Symonds Elementary Playground

Right next to Wheelock Park, this spot is genuinely one of the more accessible playgrounds you’ll find in Keene. The walking path is a nice touch — parents and grandparents can actually move around comfortably while the kids do their thing. Parking is straightforward, which honestly makes a bigger difference than people give it credit for. It pulls a real mix of families from around the area, not just the school crowd, so it has more of a neighborhood gathering feel than your typical elementary school lot.
