Tercentennial Legacy Playground sits within Poquonnock Plains Park and has long been recognized locally as an all-abilities play destination. Current official Town of Groton materials show the site is being reimagined as a fully inclusive playground with goals that include safe play for toddlers through teens, art and musical elements, comfortable caregiver spaces, and broader community inclusion. Families should expect a large public-park setting rather than a tiny neighborhood stop, with the most up-to-date inclusive features tied to the renovation concept and fundraising campaign.
