Read more about this location
Four Hearts Playground is Portsmouth's rebuilt community playground on Turnpike Avenue, created to be bigger, safer, and more inclusive for children of different ages and abilities. Official town materials describe it as an all-inclusive playground for younger children, and the town-supported project proposal specifically called for ramps, accessible swings, soft surfacing, musical play components, seating, and picnic areas. It works best for families wanting a modern, easy-to-supervise outdoor play stop with inclusive design priorities rather than a huge destination park with many separate zones.
