I received a hot tip on a playground this week and wanted to share it with you. The Pirate Ship Playground is located in Sharon on Ames Street. This playground is big, fenced in, has plenty of picnic benches and park benches, lots of big shady trees, great parking and it is connected to sports fields (if you are so inclined to bring a soccer ball). The playground is divided into a few areas. Of course, there is a big pirate ship to play on/in, there is a toddler section with train area and music area (don’t overlook the voice changing machine), a few “baby swings”, see-saws, “obstacle course” type climbers and traditional climbers with slides. 

We packed lunches and spent about 2 hours there. There are bathrooms, however; they were locked. 

We finished our outing with ice cream at Crescent Ridge. FYI – the cost of a kiddie ice cream was $3.85…..and they only take cash or check. The ice cream was top notch! If you are taking a crowd of children – $3.85 per cup can add up fast.

Directions to the Playground: From Cobbs Corner, travel South –  following Bay Road past Crescent Ridge Dairy – taking your first right after the Dairy. Follow that road about 2 miles. Take a right onto Ames Street, the playground will be on your left across from a Synagogue (if you are using your GPS: 100 Ames St., Sharon).
