In 2009, two moms in Woodbridge Connecticut decided that the town could use a new and improved playground that would be exciting for children both young and old and accessible for ALL children. They wanted to ensure that no matter a child’s ability, they would have an opportunity to interact and play with their peers. […]
Ana Grace Marquez-Greene’s Playground in Elizabeth Park
UPDATE: In November 2014 the playground area in Elizabeth Park was expanded. Pictures are below! ————————————————————————————————————- Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. I’ve written about Elizabeth Park several times before (see here, here, here and here). I love so many things about this beautiful destination. The park covers over 100 acres and includes many pathways (some of […]
Rainbow Playground in Southington
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Pop quiz. What’s the only thing better than finding an amazing Boundless Playground with tons of fun for kids of all ages and abilities? Finding one that’s completely fenced-in, of course! So today I’m going to give you a little tour of a new-to-me place to […]
After School Treat at TCBY and Boundless Playground Fun in Bloomfield
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. I was flipping through one of those coupon magazines the other day and noticed an advertisement for TCBY. Normally I’m not a TCBY regular, but the special they were offering caught my eye. TCBY is a charge by the ounce spot (a little too much uncertainty for […]
The Enfield Rotary Accessible Playground
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. At the tippy top of our state is a town called Enfield, CT. I’ve noticed it on my drives to Springfield, MA, but never stopped to check it out. But after a few fabulous readers mentioned to me that a library/playground combination existed there, I knew […]
Bodie’s Place Playground

Buckingham Road Playground in Avon
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Some of you may be reading the title to this post and thinking, “Wait. Didn’t Shawna just write about Buckingham Playground?”. Well, the answer is yes. But, thankfully, there are at least two playgrounds in Connecticut with the name Buckingham. And I say “thankfully” because, for […]

The complex included not only the Miracle League field but also several fields for the West Hartford Little League and a barrier free […]
Walter’s Boundless Playground at the Shoppes of Farmington Valley
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Do you remember the post about Bruiser’s first haircut? Poor thing. I took him to Snip-its at the Shoppes at Farmington Valley. Well, since that visit several months ago, we have discovered a few more goodies at this great shopping destination. For one, you just heard last week […]
Mikey’s Place Playground
Before we get started with today’s post, I have some exciting news to share with you. Back in March we reached a big milestone when our pageview counter hit 10,000 views (well, it was BIG for us, anyway!) Well, it took us 7 months to hit that 10,000 mark. But you know what? Not even […]
