More About Bradley M. Lessa Memorial Playground
Bradley M. Lessa Memorial Playground is located off of scenic West Street on the Libby Farm property. Managed by the Stoughton Recreation Department, the facility was a gift to the town from the Lessa family in memory of their son Bradley.
The centerpiece of the playground is the colorful jungle gym structure. There is also a swing set, a small rock-climbing wall and a fire engine with a slide. A rest area with picnic tables and benches is also provided.
