Brooklawn Park Playground
★ FeaturedNew Bedford · Ashley Boulevard, New Bedford, MA
Brooklawn Park is fully fenced, with on-site parking, confirmed restrooms, and a toddler play section. The park runs dawn to dusk and is free to use. ADA accessibility has not been confirmed at Brooklawn Park — contact New Bedford Parks and Recreation to verify before planning an accessibility-dependent visit. This is a reliable choice for parents with young children who need an enclosed splash area. The combination of fencing, restrooms, and a designated toddler zone in one location is uncommon in this county.
Pro Tip
The toddler area runs alongside the main spray zone. If you're coming with a child under 4, arrive before 11 a.m. on weekdays to avoid the mid-day crowd that tends to peak at city splash pads.
