About Meadowbrook Park

Play & Recreation Spaces

Since 1983, Meadowbrook Park has been offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you're looking for a low-key spot to unwind, this park offers the basics.

Kids will find their happy place at one of the two playground areas - there's a structure specifically designed for the little ones and another that caters to older children, complete with swings. Sports fans haven't been forgotten either - shoot some hoops at the basketball court or gather friends for an impromptu game at the ball field.

Natural Beauty

One of the park's most charming features is the creek that winds its way through the grounds. It's not just pretty to look at - this waterway attracts local wildlife like birds and squirrels, creating a little ecosystem right in the middle of the neighborhood. Both human visitors and four-legged friends tend to gravitate toward the water on warm days.

Sprawling grassy areas dotted with mature trees provide plenty of breathing room for whatever activity you have in mind. Whether you're tossing a frisbee, spreading out a picnic blanket, or just finding a shady spot to read, there's ample green space available.

Places to Gather

Scattered across the park, you'll come across picnic tables where you can enjoy an outdoor meal. Some tables are strategically placed near the creek, offering a soothing backdrop of flowing water while you eat. For those days when the weather looks iffy, the covered gazebo comes to the rescue - it's ideal for small gatherings or family outings regardless of a few raindrops.

Take a Stroll

Near Harvard Lane off East Tiverton, you'll discover the park's walking trail. At just 0.3 miles, it's more of a gentle stroll than a serious hike, but sometimes that's exactly what you need. The path takes you through some of the prettiest parts of the park - ideal for clearing your head or having a quiet conversation.

Good to Know

When nature calls, there's a porta-potty available on site. Dog owners will appreciate that the park is dog-friendly, with plenty of open space where your furry friend can burn off some energy.

You'll rarely find Meadowbrook Park overcrowded, making it a pleasant spot for nearby residents seeking a bit of green space or a moment of tranquility.
