When it comes to outdoor fun and adventure, Greater Nashua boasts some of the best playgrounds and parks that will keep kids entertained for hours. From swings and slides to climbing walls and water features, Greater Nashua's parks and playgrounds keep my kids active, provide great opportunities to meet old friends and make new ones, and best of all, they're FREE!
