What a great experience and nice surprise. We were looking…read morefor a place for the kids to run and play after a long train ride - it was exactly what we were looking for and more. There were so many slides and equipment for the kids to climb and slide and jump. While there were a lot of people and kids, it didn't feel out of control, most people there seemed to be attentive. The playground area was a artificial spongey turf and definitely makes it safer for the kids when they topple over. LOL There were benches under trees for parents/guardians to sit while safely observing the kids play. When the sun shifts, it gets really hot in the summer. Bring an umbrella for shade if you aren't able to find a seat under a tree. The bonus we hadn't expected - the water part of the park. The Kids loved it!!! We will definitely be back when we are in the area. The kids didn't want to leave...luckily we were close to the Boston Market Place Hall where they could get a cool drink and a treat - that was the only way we could get them to leave this fun park. LOL Highly recommend!

If you haven't seen the viral video that has this long metal slide dubbed the "cop slide,"…read moredefinitely give it a watch. Usually this playground is for kids (not cops) and is complete with a rubbery soft ground. Some of the materials could be harsh, like lots of static coming from a metal slide and possible scrapes from the concrete. I found the area to be clean and safe. With City Hall directly in the center of Boston, this playground is walkable to all downtown staples from the North End to Boston Commons.

A unique modern playground right near the Children's Museum in Seaport!…read more This park was designed in honor of the youngest victim of the Boston Marathon bombing. This is not your typical playground. There are multiple sections of the park, which make it great for exploring. You turn a corner and cross a bridge and you're in a new space with new features! In the lower section, there is a water garden with misting fountains turned on during the warmer months. There are plenty of benches for taking a rest or snack time among the well-maintained greenery. I'd say for kiddos under 2, maybe even 3, playing on the pirate ship and near the slides definitely needs close adult supervision. The plank up the hill to the ship is quite steep, as are the two slides on the other side of the park. Definitely worth the trek into Seaport with your little ones!

Martin's Park is an AOK park that's situated on the Boston waterfront; it's part of the greenspace…read morewhich is right in front of the Boston's Children Museum. There's lots of space here for various kinds of recreation; they've also got tables if you're inclined to have a picnic. When you come here, you'll be rewarded with some fairly nice views of the city. There's also an ice cream shop made top resemble a Hood milk bottle :-) Tip: The far end of this park is the "entrance" to a shopping strip that runs along Sea Port Blvd
