The park has playing fields, picnic areas, gardens, waterways, and an ice skating rink (which was not open this time of year). The "Temple of Love" is a beautiful structure either close up or from across the lagoon. [Review 18607 overall - 1188 in Massachusetts - 2129 of 2022.]

The hill is perfect in the warmer months to have a picnic or toss a frisbee or football with some friends. In the winter, it's the best sledding hill. Truly Larzies has it all, and it's amazing year round.

Whether…read moreI'm having the best or worst day ever, a loop or two around always leaves me so grounded and at peace. It is well kept (maybe besides in icy conditions in the winter), full of great people-watching, and just as beautiful when you walk it for the 300th time as it was the first. It is about a 1.5 mile loop for those interested in tracking their mileage. For those who don't live in the area, it is a short walk from the closest T-stop and it really worth the trip. In the warmer seasons, expect to see some wildlife (lots of birds & turtles). When colder, expect gorgeous icy views. Tip: If you like taking a stroll with a coffee in hand, grab a coffee at Starbucks or Eagles Deli nearby before you loop!

One of my good friends is an avid climber, so we went out to Hammond Pond to boulder on some of the big rocks. I don't really know how to rate rocks, but I suppose Hammond's were good, law-abiding rocks and considerate enough to have a lot of hand-holds, foot holds, and small trees to grab. I'm a pretty lousy climber, and even I managed to get on top of a couple of good rocks. It was a beautiful day, the leaves were all reflect-y, and we met a couple of couples out for a light hike as our small group bounced off of rocks, and had very pleasant conversation (at least, what passed for conversation while one party is partially humping a rock). If I liked nature more, I could see myself here a LOT (assuming I had a car to get here).

It's a great spot to lay out in the sun, read, and listen to music, in the sun or the shade - just a nice park and great place to spend some time on a nice day at any age. There are always kids playing here: water gun fights, wiffle ball, you name it. There a small water fountain to run through to cool off and a water fountain for drinking out of. If you want to bring food or relax in the shade, there's a picnic table as well as several benches. For a little more exercise (at any age), there's also a playground - a few swings, a slide, etc. - a small basketball court, and a tennis court.

I live mere blocks away, but for whatever reason, never park-ed it up until today. I decided it was way too early in my recovery process to start complaining and feeling sorry for myself, so I grabbed the blanket I stole from the hospital, a good book, and headed out. The sun was shining, birds were chirping, two men were playing tennis, and several small children were running around the playground. I claimed a spot of land as my own, and read until a man driving the biggest lawnmower I've ever seen came to mow the grass. I wasn't in the mood for another hospital visit to treat the injuries I might have sustained had I continued to lie on the grass unnoticed, so I packed up and headed home. After all, my bank account can only handle so many hospital co-payments.

I play tennis here all the time and the people who surround us are usually very polite and respectful. That being said, I visited this page to write about how awesome it is to have tennis courts so close to home, but unfortunately, ran across Ringer Park's dirty past. BUT the past is the past and I've never felt unsafe. I think if you're looking for a place to enjoy a nice game of tennis or basketball, this place is not a bad option. You can make reservations for the tennis courts, although most people just wait their turn. The wait has never been too long for me&my boyfriend, but it really depends on the weather.
