The Town of Cheshire Park and Recreation Department is fully accountable for the management and maintenance of the playground.

A Cheshire Public Beauty Spot Award Winner
The playground won Cheshire's public beauty spot, which was greatly appreciated by all who contributed to its success, beauty and value add to the community!!!

Spectacular Design
The playground resides on ~38,000 square feet and is understood to be the largest in Connecticut. This fully accessible Boundless Playground offers the newest equipment including poured-in-place surfacing, a Kidrox Climber, a Double Webscape and a Playworld Music Center. In addition, there is a drinking fountain and picnic area, Cool Topper Sails for lots of shade and a gated fence to keep children safe. The Pathways to Play Bricks that you were able to purchase and personalize, are located within the walkway areas of the playground.

The state-of-the-art design was created by Creative Recreation of West Hartford, CT, using primarily Miracle Recreation equipment and approved by Boundless Playgrounds.

The Design and Construction committee researched numerous playground equipment vendors, visited dozens of playgrounds, incorporated feedback from the local community, and came up with just the right design for Cheshire's Boundless Playground. The goal was to build an accessible and safe playground that was FUN for all to enjoy!
