Turner Park is a small playground located just a mile from downtown Annapolis. The playground boasts a small pirate ship equipped with places for the kids to climb and slide. A small set of swings, including infant swings, is also available. The park is also home to a basketball court, perfect for shooting some hoops or for the little ones to scooter or bike on.

The entire park is fenced in so little ones can’t escape. What we enjoyed about the park is that it was so quiet. After a long morning in the bustling downtown, the small, tree-lined park was just what we needed. If you’ve got kiddos that get easily overwhelmed or are just in need of a quiet place, this is the spot for you. 

The park is also just a short walk from Boatyard, making it a perfect place to play while you’re waiting for a table to become available. Turner Park is by no means the most expensive park you’ll ever see, but it’s a good choice if you’re nearby and the kids need a break!
