Best park. Swings. Seesaw. slides. Climbing hill/ wall. Web feature to climb . Water feature. And more. Love how it's not the normal bright melting plastic parks. Lots of thought was put into this park. It's so brilliant it was quite possibly designed by a bunch of toddlers :)

My favorite park thus far in the Boston area! I have 3 boys, 9months 2.5 years and 9. They all had something to do and when the time came, they didn't want to leave. We would have stayed had we brought our lunch. I felt safe, the playground is fenced in, and there is so much to play with/on. Your children will get sandy at this park, there's no way around it. I love the water table feature. The only bummers: one side of the park was extremely overgrown and of course that's where the kids want to go. Also, along the wood climbing fence thing between the seesaw and Merry-go-round had a wasps nest. Be careful!

This is an awesome city playground. I love the fort, the sand, the handicapped accessible swing, and the rope climber. It is worth a stop if you are near Harvard and have young kids.

Review is for the dog park only. Unfortunately, despite having a fenced in resource where dogs are…read moreallowed to fly off leash, many people use the baseball field adjacent to this field to run their dogs. This is especially dangerous for someone who hopes to walk safely with a dog reactive dog on a leash in this general area. Additionally, like any neighborhood dog park, there seems to be a community of people who frequent this one regularly, at least before work hours. One, with a larger breed dog, was completely indifferent when his dog escalated playtime with my dog and tried to bite him, definitely scaring him. Given that I have encountered dogs that are not necessarily well behaved coupled with the fact that this area is often full of awful leash dogs running where they should not be (recently, I had been going there again because there is a fence limiting pedestrian traffic on the fields, possibly due to some landscaping work). I could not report this incident animal control because my dog was not bitten/had his skin broken, but the rude face the other owner made to me and his dismissive nature of my concern was alarming. There are absolutely some dog parks people go to to just ignore their dogs when they have too much energy, and unfortunately this, like the one on Putnam Street, is becoming that.

Amazing spot for kids of all ages! There is play area for smaller kids next to the Albert…read moreArgenziano school. Across from the kiddie playground, there is a second playground for older kids (simple obstacle course kind). When you look across the field, you will find a fantastic play area with long slides and ninja type obstacle course. I want to be a kid again! I think I saw about 20 parking spaces? I also saw a mini splash pad/water area but it was not turned on when I was there. Basketball court is available too.
