Fred Thacher Church Street Playground

The Fred Thacher playground is named in honor of a long time Yarmouth resident. The name is doubly appropriate, honoring not just Thatcher, but his entire family. “The Thacher family is one of the founding families in Yarmouth,” said Recreation Director Patricia Armstrong. In fact, the land on which the playground sits, which also includes fields for kids to play on, was deeded to the town by the same family in the 1920s.
