Very disappointing experience when I signed up for a League. I originally signed up for a Monday…read moreLeague back in September, with 10/6 start date. Found out a few days prior that because not enough people joined, it was going to be pushed to 10/20 start date. I called on 10/20 to find out there was no League going on that date, with the app telling me I had a pending 10/27 time slot. Received an email on 10/25 that there's a "New DUPR Ladder League starting on 11/3". So clearly my League had been cancelled without any communication. Looked in the app and saw that I had been put into a Tuesday League and that there was like 3 Tuesdays left. Gave them a call and they had no clue why there was such horrendous communication on their part. They could only tell me that there's a new Monday League starting soon, and that the Tuesday League that I was currently in had started beginning of October. I was really looking forward to playing here in a league, but they are just not very professional.

I am a happy repeat customer of Sportsmen's for summer camp for my kids. The team there, headed by…read morean amazing and humble Ms. Nadine Houston, runs a tight ship and I am always amazed and impressed at how they set high expectations of the kids (behaviorally) and have the kids actually listen. The summer camp schedule is pretty suitably structured for kids, comprised roughly of 65% tennis, 25% other sport activities (ball games, swimming daily, rock climbing field trip, MFA field trip) and 10% reading and board game time (these are just my estimates, check with the instructors to get exact info of course). There is time set aside for AM and PM snack as well as lunch. There is a water fountain for kids to fill up on water, as it gets hot. Sportsmen's is being considered to be the host of tennis games for the Boston 2024 Olympics, and the executive director Ms. Toni Wiley delivered a great interview on local TV recently about their involvement in the community, and partnerships with schools etc.; a lot of which I was not aware of. Their down-to-earth but realistic and professional attitude made me feel proud of them which is what prompted me to write this review. The organization added a new health and wellness wing in collaboration with BWH in July 2015 and they will start having exercise classes there in the fall. I think this is an important addition to the neighborhood and a valuable example to follow. (Took one little star away as it could use a more air conditioning, although to be fair they do have a large indoor space to cool off so it could be hard)

I've recently re-ignited my passion for playing table tennis, something that I had taken a ten year…read morehiatus from and something that I had seriously pursued while in college. Table tennis clubs aren't common in Massachusetts and there's only a handful that are worth seeking out. This is definitely one of them. Wife and husband duo Phyllis and Henry and the friendly duo who created Mastiff TTC and who host players three times a week and who provide high-quality, Olympic-vetted Joola tables. There's five tables available and sessions typically are three hours long and only cost $8 per walk-in. That's a fantastic deal considering that you don't need to bring a partner and it's also much cheaper than the $15 walk-ins at the MATTBC in Waltham. So whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced player, if you want to play, this is definitely a great place to come and I cannot recommend it enough. Everyone I've come across here is very friendly and the diversity of levels and styles makes attending this place interesting. They also have plenty of balls available so the pace is pretty quick. Best of all, since it's in the back of a former school, there's also plenty of free parking once you go around the building (the door to Mastiff is in the back, on the left) which is also nice.

The starters don't mess around so make sure you are on time. I was excited to see they are working on the course and continuing to make improvements. The Franklin Park Zoo is free on Sundays so get there early to find a good parking spot. Redesigned by Donald Ross, William J Devine is the second oldest public course in the country. It's been around for a while and lives up to the reputation! I will be returning this summer.

I arrived as a single golfer and was let on the course rather quickly. Richard at the front desk…read moreand Mac both were very helpful in setting me up with a set of rental cars and pairing me with two other locals who were blast to play with. The course is a great old historic course. While not overly long, it was well maintained, and you can sense the history as you walk the fairways. Starting at 7:30 in the morning we had a four hour round and never waited for a group in front of us or had a group piling up behind us. I played this course while traveling on business and will definitely come again when I'm in the Boston area.

This is the absolute best and cleanest indoor play space we have ever been to. Starting off, you…read morecan tell the owners put so much care into every detail of the space. The inside is bright and beautiful, and the front is easy to get settled in with plenty of room for your things. They also have clean grippy socks available for you there. The play area is incredible! We haven't seen a giant LEGO wall before but my son could hardly rip himself away. They have a giant area for older toddlers and kids and a big room to the side for infants and crawlers. The pressurized air play area were my son's favorites and he loved spinning around in the hidden swing. The older kids were playing on the lower obstacle course fit a while and the parents were loving the slides and the interactive "strike out" screen in the ball pit. The Adventurous Playground has something for everyone. We came for a birthday party and watched kids 1-10 have fun for a few hours without losing any steam. There is a ton of variety and the staff are great about keeping an eye on everyone. There are so many thoughtful touches throughout the whole place from the bathrooms, the party area, the stuffed toy wall, the clean up and the staff. They also have a professional cleaning team that came in before and after every group which every mom there commented on. It was SO CLEAN and we all know that is not always the case! They were so helpful for the party hosts. The owners and the staff all helped organize the gifts for the parents to get out, they helped with cleanup and had a whole process for setup and breakdown making it stress free for the parents. This is a family owned small business and you can see the care and attention to detail they have put in. We can't wait to watch this business grow and we hope they will open up another spot north of Boston!

A true Donald Ross gem--public, historic, and surprisingly challenging!…read more GeorgeWright is a classic Donald Ross-designed 18‑hole municipal course carved into rugged HydePark terrain. Despite being public, it delivers a layout and conditioning that rivals private clubs--tight fairways, blind approaches, rolling greens, and a dramatic clubhouse that recalls Ross's golden era. It's notoriously popular--booking weekend tee times is tough, and pace can lag during peak play. But for the blend of design pedigree, value, and historic charm, it's absolutely worth a spot on your golf must-play list .
