Why Families Love St. Ann’s Church Playground

Tucked behind St. Ann’s Episcopal Church in Windham, this small community playground offers a quiet place for children to play while parents enjoy open space, picnic seating, and a peaceful setting away from busy roads.

Known as the Kelli Hutchison Memorial Playground, the playground was created in memory of Kelli Hutchison, who passed away in 2010 shortly before her 11th birthday. Today, the playground serves as a welcoming space for both church families and the broader community.

While it isn’t one of the region’s largest playgrounds, it shines as an easy stop for younger children who want room to climb, swing, and explore without feeling overwhelmed by crowds or oversized equipment.
