Why Families Love Woods Pond Park Playground

Woods Pond Park Playground combines a wooden play structure, swings, and shaded picnic spots for a simple outdoor outing in Bridgton.

Located at Woods Pond Beach, the playground gives families another way to enjoy the park beyond swimming season. Stop for climbing and sliding, settle beneath the mature trees for a picnic, or include playground time in a summer beach visit.

The multilevel wooden structure includes a ladder, rock wall, climbing rope, bridge, and three slides. Different climbing routes give children several ways to explore, while one traditional swing and one toddler bucket swing offer a familiar playground favorite.

Several mature trees surround the picnic area, with tables providing a shaded place for lunch, snacks, or a break between turns on the equipment.
