Veterans Memorial Playground is a large, grassy property in North Plymouth with a small skate park, a basketball court, a street hockey rink, a contemporary play structure, swings, as well as a Veterans Memorial.

Hunting is not allowed on this property.

Features

The park was established in 1925. The field is “dedicated to the memory and in honor of the men of Plymouth who lost their lives in the world war 1917-1918.”

The contemporary play structure has sections for older and younger children, with sand underfoot. It is not fenced-in. The skate park, Plymside, is a modest DIY construction, all within the space of one former tennis court. Read about it here.

This land is within the region of the Wampanoag. To learn more about local Native American tribes, we encourage you to interact with their members. The Herring Pond Wampanoag and the Mashpee Wampanoag share information on their websites.

Trail Description

A short paved concrete path provides access to the park from Court Street. There is also a concrete access ramp from the town parking area behind 318 Court Street, but neither path goes very deep into the park at this time.

Habitats and Wildlife

This grassy park features several tall maple and oak trees. The waters here flow to Kingston Bay.
