Family Fun at Broad Meadow Brook

Have fun with the whole family at Broad Meadow Brook, either on your own or during an organized program.

Nature Play Area

It’s all about building at Broad Meadow Brook. Create mini cities with found bricks or design gnome homes with moss, leaves, acorns, and anything else found on the ground.

Taking a cue from a traditional playground, a wooden two-seater swing let you soar like the birds above. The surprisingly comfortable tree chairs were made of trees that were cut down to keep the forest healthy.

Where

Follow the Holdredge Trail to find the Nature Play area. Along the way you will find our tree chairs and swings.
