The Plains was used on 7/18/26 as part of the commemoration of former Kingston resident Josiah Bartlett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Various groups contributed, including the Sons of the American Revolution. No fee. Very grassy. Some trees. Street parking. Very open and well-located on Main Street in town. This spot is great for public functions, dog walking, etc. The Plains Cemetery and Plains Church are just across the street. Check it out!

Passing through Kingston, I stopped for awhile to visit The Plains and the Church on the Plains across the road.The Plains area is a long strip park in the center of town. It is mostly grassy surfaces between Main Street and West Main Street. There are several cross streets. The park is the site for town events, such as concerts at the bandstand and Kingston Days which includes music, flea market & yard sale, food vendors, rides. Motorcycle show, car show. And, the upcoming Kingston Days event in August was part of what prompted my visit. I wanted to see exactly where the parking would be for it. At the time of my visit, I saw a family setting up for a picnic under a shade tree in one of the middle sections.Nearby are the NH State Historical Marker for Josiah Bartlett as well as his house which is a private residence.I rate The Plains at 4.0 and recommend visiting during one of the town’s events.If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.
