About the Venue

The Nick, officially the Nicholas J. Pernokas Recreation Park, is one of Wolfeboro's standout family recreation spaces and includes a public playground within a larger all-ages park setting. Official town and social materials confirm that the site serves the wider Lakes Region, with fields, a track, dog park, and other recreation features alongside the playground. Public materials emphasize that the park is open, accessible, and welcoming, but they do not publish detailed inclusive playground hardware specs, so this listing is strongest as an accessibility-conscious all-ages park rather than a fully documented adaptive playground build.
