This is a park whose natural beauty, landscaping, Fall color and tranquil setting is worth seeing and visiting in all seasons. I posted four of a dozen pictures I took and I think they say it all. I'll add this place to Arnold Arboretum as one of the places I go to photograph and walk. Give it a view. You won't be disappointed.

For the two years I've lived nearby, Hemenway has been maintained well by the local council, and is regularly enjoyed by local families. There is a basketball court, a children's playground, a nice expanse of dog-poop-free grass and a rock garden. I always see joggers using the park in the morning, and every weekend there are at least a couple of games of basketball being played. It's a friendly and low-key park, and everyone seems to use it quite fairly. A lovely addition to a friendly part of D-ster.

I believe its accessible from the T but I drive here when I come. There is a large Boston based Pokémon Go group that congregates here during large events and the playing options are amazing. The walking paths are paved throughout as well as a couple of well-worn dirt paths. There is a large fenced track for running, baseball diamonds, pickleball, tennis, and loads of other sports playing options. Lots of wide open space to play frisbee. The park is dog friendly as well.

He said "just Holla, Baloo." But enough of this Hullabaloo. This is a pretty nice park right by the water in Boston and I absolutely love it here. I slept right here by this park, and even though it's not always the safest neighborhood and there were a few strange incidents, I still felt fairly safe and nothing happened to me - and nothing even nearly happened to me - so I appreciated that. It's very pretty in the daytime, as I found out when I woke up, with the sparkling water as a backdrop. Boston is a very beautiful city with a lot more water than a lot of people ever see, so I feel kinda bad for those who just stick to the downtown or Cambridge or Allston and Chestnut Hill, because the North and South Shores are honestly the heart of Boston, and I'm ashamed that it took me 20 years to find that out.

One of - okay THE - nicest playground I've been to so far…read more It is always clean. There are plenty of benches for weary caregivers to rest while the kids run around and burn off that endless supply of energy. There are two play structures, both with slides and an array of climbing structures separated by a fence. One side for tots and one for older kids. There's a substantial set of swings (6 total - one for all ages). The playground is adjacent to a set of large baseball fields, tennis and basketball courts. There is no parking lot but I've never had trouble finding an on street space on beautiful LaGrange street. Its proximity to the plenty of shops and restaurants along Centre Street lend to making the visit to the playground a multi-purpose outing. I know how much effort it took to get the kids loaded up and out the door - so let's make the most of it! While it can get busy, it's never been so overwhelmingly crowded that my introverted personality couldn't handle it. I've always been very comfortable with the amount of kids and guardians. This is our favorite playground in the city so far, it has become our regular spot.

The food and drinks were great even if a little pricy. My biggest issue was seating at the park. We were in the older green seats that have little to no room.

Love me some Payton Tolle, though!

Ryan Park (aka the Father Francis A. Ryan Memorial Playground) is a public park and playground area…read morein the Mattapan section of Boston, Massachusetts. Amenities at the park include a playground with multiple playscapes, a splash pad with a wading pool, basketball courts, tennis courts, public restrooms with changing areas, walking paths, and convenient access to the nearby Neponset River Greenway. My family and I visited Ryan Park this past summer while we were cycling along the Neponset River Greenway. I had previously visited the park back in 2023 while I was cycling the trail with my older son. He had a lot of fun playing on the playscapes. Unfortunately, I didn't bring his bathing suit along on that trip and he felt bad that he couldn't play on the splash pad. On my more recent trip to Ryan Park, we were joined by my wife and younger son and this time we made sure to bring bathing suits. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the splash pad had been completely redone since my last trip. The newer splash pad had features that were more consistent with a wading pool. Both of my sons had a blast splashing around. Once swim time was over, we all enjoyed our prepared picnic lunch on a nearby picnic table. Afterwards, both boys had fun running around on the playscapes. Overall, my whole family thinks that Ryan Park is a great place for young children and it's easily accessible by motor vehicle, bicycle, or public transportation.

Why did I only find this on the LAST day of summer??!?…read more Seriously though. This spray park is AMAZING. It is really just a water slide short of being an actual tot water park. You would pay a $60 entry fee for access to a little water play area like this at a big water park. It's got a really good sized wading pool with lifeguards on duty. There are tons of spray features - an alligator, a turtle and a snake. There's also this awesome bucket contraption that fills up six buckets with water and then dumps them out over and over. It's totally fun! There are plenty of benches, with nice sun canopy shades overhead. There's even a bathroom / shower facility adjacent to the water features! That's just the water park. Ryan playground is seriously stacked. There's a huge area with two giant play structures. It's got a wood chip base (not updated with the rubberized surface that many newer playgrounds have) and some benches. There are also tennis and basketball courts! And it looks like they are currently finishing construction of a walkway to provide access to the Neponset River walkway. I'm excited for that! Last but not least - this is Boston after all - there is a parking lot! YES - parking. It is small, but dammit, it's there and it's free!!! We will be back SO many times. I wish it didn't take me this long to realize this place was 5 minutes from my house. Hidden Bostonplayground gem!
