Marshview Meadows Park

We have been visiting Marsh View Meadows Playground for years. Mosquitos can be bad due to the proximity of the playground to the marshy areas. Day time trips are better than evening trips.

The smaller structure is a great option for a toddler or preschooler. It has several ways up, low slides, and tubes to crawl through – or slide down. Of course, my daughter always wanted to be where the action was. She always wanted to be on the larger structure.

My daughter enjoyed the balance steps on the larger structure. At 11.5 she flew across them. However, I remember her wanting to cross them as a toddler and having to help her since her legs were too short to reach the next step. She would balance on the support bar. At least the one side is open for easy parental assistance.

If you use the walking trails, be sure to check your children carefully for ticks – they are bad this summer.

The Pavilion is a great place for a group gathering. My daughter’s preschool rented it every year for a Back to School Picnic and I recently returned for a graduation party. The pavilion and structure were perfect for families and nearby bathrooms are a plus for all. The only downside is the parking lot is a bit small for a large gathering of 50+ families. Electrical outlets are available at the pavilion. I thought they were only available with a pavilion rental, but they were not locked during my July 2022 article update.

Train tracks run to the east of the parks. Sometimes you’ll get to see a train go past. 

Pittsfield Township holds some of their annual events at Marsh View Meadows. Past events have included fall hayrides.

Marsh View Meadows is located near Pittsfield Preserve. From the playground you can explore the marsh on the limestone trails. The park is also connected to the paved Textile Rd Greenway path that connects to the Pittsfield Preserve with nature trails.
