Tips for Visiting Casco Playgrounds

Save the school playground for outside school hours:
Crooked River Elementary School’s playground should only be visited when school and school-sponsored programs are not in session. Plan your visit for after school, weekends, summer vacation, or other school breaks.

Choose your playground based on the outing you want:

Want a larger playground with room to run? Head to Casco Community Park.
Have children in different age groups? The separate play structures at Casco Community Park make it a good choice.
Want playground time plus basketball or tennis? Try Village Park.
Hoping to pair the playground with a library visit? Village Park is located directly behind the Casco Public Library and Community Center.
Need another simple playground option outside school hours? Keep Crooked River Elementary School in mind.

Check seasonal amenities:
Casco Community Park closes during the winter, and its portable toilets are seasonal. Village Park is not maintained for winter use, and the swings may be removed before snowfall.

Bring water:
There is no drinking fountain at Casco Community Park. Water is available inside the Community Center near Village Park only when the building is open.

Pack a picnic or a ball:
Casco Community Park has a covered picnic pavilion and large athletic fields, while Village Park has adjacent basketball and tennis courts.

Exploring local playgrounds is one of the easiest ways to add more outdoor time to your family’s day. You don’t need a complicated plan or a long drive—sometimes a playground, a snack, and a little room to run are all you need.

In Casco, families can choose between a spacious community recreation park, a smaller village playground with nearby courts, and a school playground available outside of school hours.
