Pirate Ship Park in Ipswich is a pretty cool park that I had heard lots about, but could never find any information about. This summer we met up with some friends to check it out. It's located on Little Neck Rd. in Ipswich, across from Pavillion Beach.
The park is fenced on 3 sides, has a half basketball court, and some soccer goals. The back side of the park is not fenced. There is a house that overlooks the park here, and running off has not been a problem at all with my kids here. There are some swings - 2 baby swings, 2 regular swings, and an accessible swing that are towards the back of the park. This is one of my few complaints about the park. If I have one child swinging, I am no where near the other two. The only other complaint I have is that there is very little shade. There's a small gazebo in the middle of the park that you might be able to sit at while the kids play. Mine are still a bit too young for that!
After the park, you can walk across the street and explore Pavillion Beach. Its at the Salt Marsh, and it's a rocky beach. We've never brought suits for swimming here! My kids love throwing rocks into the tide pools. Check out some of our pictures below.
Parking: One handicap spot, and about 4 other spots right next to the park. Across and just down the street there's quite a few spots available in the parking lot.
Bathrooms: None. Be prepared for this.
