One of the simple joys of childhood is a trip to the local playground.  Slides, swings, climbing structures, those people powered merry-go-rounds, and all your friends.

Your kids get a chance to exercise and the parents have a chance to socialize.  Plus, they're free to use.  So, it's a win, win, win!

If your kids are tired of going to the same playgrounds over and over, we've put together a list of other playgrounds you can check out.  As you can see, our list is separated into sections.  There is a chunk for the Augusta area, a block of playgrounds in the Waterville / Winslow area, and one for the mid-coast area.

Take a look and let us know if any of the following information is out of date.  Also, please let us know if you know about a playground that is not on our list.
