Adventure Hollow Playground was built in memory of 1-year-old Noah Bourdon, who died in August 2006 when he fell from a playscape at Baldwin’s Pond and struck his head. He was the son of Sarah Bourdon and Chris Bourdon, the city’s recreational supervisor. The barrier-free playground is near Hubbard Park’s swimming pool. It is 13,000 square feet and features areas for different age groups.

Playground includes climbing rocks, a ramped structure, accessible swing seat, climbing net, and musical instruments.  It is a fenced playground.

The surfacing is primarily wood mulch (EWF) which may make it more difficult for a person using a wheelchair to maneuver through the playground.

The JCC is conveniently located in Stamford, Connecticut, at the corner of Newfield Avenue and Vine Road with easy accessibility to both the Merritt Parkway and the Connecticut Turnpike.

The playground allows every child can reach the highest play deck.  There are cozy spots where everyone can gather.  Equipment includes swings and bouncers have back support and elevated sand tables and activity panels.  The playground is built on two levels:  Mikey’s Playground, the early childhood area for ages two to five on the upper level, and the Didi Wein Playground, for children five and older, on the lower level.  Mikey’s Playground is named in memory of Michael Dorf, the late son of Fran and Bob Dorf.   The lower playground is named for the late Didi Wein. Following her death in the late nineties, Didi’s friends not only donated the funds, but actually constructed the playground with their own hands.

The Enfield Rotary Accessible Playground is brand new and fabulous! Older kids will love the tall, steep slides and the ginormous spider web rope structure- located smack dab in the center of the playground. The toddler area is different from any in the region. Instead of a structure, there are individual elements to play on like a rockin’ river raft, a hippo you can walk into, a play house and more. The toddler area is separated from the older kids area by a picnic pavilion. The sight lines are not great- so this is a two adult playground if you have multiple kids with various ages.

The playground is located in front of the Enfield Public Library. During the summer, the cool library provides a respite and bathrooms. The children’s reading room is filled with comfy book nooks and computer game stations. In the fall and spring, it is a place to warm up.
