Great Playground

http://www.visualvoices.net/publications/
There is a WONDERFUL book - the link is above - called Playgrounds of the North Shore. I am not associated with it in anyway - I just got a copy of it when it first came out a few years ago, and it has been a Bible for me. It tells you everything you need to know about a playground from whether there are bathrooms to what age it is appropriate for - just EVERYTHING. But - if you don't get the book (which, believe me, it is worth the investment) - there is the Amesbury playground on Friend Street, there is Field of Dreams in Salem, NH (don't know the street name, but starting at Toys R Us - take a right out of the parking lot, take your first left, and the playground is on the left). Nothing too great in Haverhill, but in nearby in West Newbury is Action Cove on Bachelor Street - just off Rte. 113. Good luck and have fun!

Hi B.,
There is a great play ground in Atkinson, NH. Pope Field. It's off of route 121. Great swings, slides, tennis courts, basketball court, and baseball field. Here are the directions For Pope Field:

from route 111,
Turn South on Route 121.
Travel approximately 1/2 mile to Island Pond Road (Farm on right).
Turn Right onto Island Pond Road.
At the First Stop sign (approximately 600 feet), turn left onto West Side Drive.
Travel approximately 1 mile and turn left on Pope Road.
Fields and parking are located at the end of Pope Road.

Winnikenni Castle has a good playground and miles of trails too! Also there is the field of dreams playground in Salem, NH over by the high school. There is also a really nice park in Amesbury, but I can't remember the name. There is a frisbee golf course there, the only one of its kind in the area, if you google searched frisbee golf in Amesbury you'd easily come up with it. Pentucket Lake School in Haverhill also has a nice playground which is open in the summer until dusk and during school from after school until dusk. Have fun playing!

Groveland Pines on Rt. 113 and Action Cove on 113 in W. Newbury Rocks, also Winnekini Castle on 110 Haverhill.

Field of Dreams in Salem Nh is located on the same road as Salem High, and District Court. Lots of tree cover, a swing set and a castle structure. Close to the mall and Toys R Us. Enjoy!

Three great playground is the area are the lake(I can't remember the name of it...it's a resevoir in Haverhill...when you are heading towards Newton, N.H. Another nice place is Moseley woods located in Newburyport, Ma. The third is the playground in Georgetown located on the lake right off of rt. 97.

depending on how old your children are field of dreams in salem,nh is great.
