About the Venue

Coes Park is one of Worcester's clearest current fits for an inclusive playground listing. The city describes the playground as fully accessible, and the park pairs that play area with nearby parking, paths, open lawn, and the restored Stearns Tavern café/community space run by Seven Hills. Families looking for a low-key outdoor visit with a modern play area and room to spread out will likely find this one of the most practical inclusive options in the city.
