Open Hearth Community Playground

Locals know this Waitsfield spot as a solid go-to when you need somewhere for the kids to run around without driving all the way into town. It’s got that community-built feel to it — the kind of place where you’ll recognize half the parents there on any given afternoon. Being right in the heart of Waitsfield means you can grab a bite nearby before or after, which makes it easy to turn into a longer outing. Nothing flashy, but that’s kind of the point.
