Kids Kingdom II/Connor B. Lourens Memorial Playground - Lunenburg, MA

My husband and I grew up in Lunenburg, MA. Around 1988, the town built a new playground called Kids Kingdom. It was a large wooden structure with tunnels and turrets and slides. It provided much entertainment in our childhoods. In 2006, the town replaced the old structure with a new, modern playground. Filled with monkey bars, climbing ladders and fast, colorful slides, the playground makes for a fun time. With a separate, smaller structure for little ones, and the larger structure for more of a challenge, the playground is great for all ages. There are also plenty of swings. Unforutnately, there are no picnic tables or shaded area to rest under. 



A fun remanant from the first Kids Kingdom decorates the back of the playground. If you venture behind the elementary school that is located right next to Kids Kingdom II, you'll find some old fashioned teeter totters and huge old metal slides. They are an entertaining throwback to playgrounds of the early 80s, and they remain in good shape.
