About the Venue

Grace Park Community Playground is a neighborhood play space in Bath developed by Bath at Play at Grace Episcopal Church. Phase 1 is complete and includes three connected play structures, bridges, three slides, four swings, a tire swing, climbing walls, a fireman's pole, a sandbox, bench seating, a picnic table, and a cedar fence. Phase 2 plans add an outdoor musical instrument and a short story trail connection, giving families more reasons to linger. While it is not presented as a formal all-abilities park, the project's mission and design emphasis on community access and inclusive play make it a strong fit for this directory.
