What it is, is a well-designed, toddler-safe gigantoplex with cushioned UFO swings, hybrid soccer/hockey/basketball goals, and an Aggrocrag webbing mountain that sends kids back to you via a two story slide. WHAT?! Truth; check the pics. A half dozen tables with chairs for lunch or Connect Four, water fountains peppered throughout and a clean, untarnished feel makes this recent renovation worth swinging the kids by. Street parking is avail, and being off the beaten path, the spots are likely open.

At first glance, this park seems ordinary. In fact, when we first moved to the area, I rarely took…read moremy daughter there. I figured it couldn't compete with the bigger, flashier, Albion park which is located right in the same neighborhood. Well, yes, Albion does have an amazing splash pad, and a huge piece of land, but because it's so spread out, it's just really not that intimate. Lexington Park on the other hand, is the perfect size. Not so big and spread out that you're constantly chasing your little ones and wearing your feet out, but big enough that the kids get lots of exercise. There are two climbing structures with slides, baby swings,big kid swings, a play house, and a basketball court (often occupied simultaneously by adults shooting hoops and preschoolers on scooters). In the summer, there is a small splash pad which has enough water that the kids LOVE it, but the water isn't very high, so they generally avoid getting soaked (unlike Albion park, where you may as well just go in a bathing suit every time). In addition to the park structures, there are always a bunch of ride-on toys and such that I assume have been donated to the park by parents. This park is awesome for both parents and kids. The sightlines are great for a parent watching more than one child, and the structures aren't overly big. Because the park is sort of divided up into three different sections, the kids have variety and can move from one area to the next to keep it exciting. But the best part of Lexington Park is the feeling of community. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. I almost always see at least a couple familiar faces there, and everyone is incredibly friendly. I've had some amazing conversations with other parents there, and my daughter always has a great time with the other kids. So, if you're new to the area, and you spot this park from the bike path, don't discount it like I initially did. Check it out. Especially around 4pm in the summer. Your kids will thank you. And you will probably become a regular.

Parking is fairly easy, there is a parking lot. Most of the playground is accessible, besides 1 swing. There is 1 swing over sand, 2 swings over rubber, and 1 bucket harness swing over rubber. The is sensory and musical, play equipment in the first part, as well as imaginary play. Secondly, there are low monkey bars and a climber. Next, there is a straight slide and if you go a little higher there is a spiral slide. To get on the playground, there are stairs, a curved ladder, or the monkey bars. For older kids, there is a semicircular climbing net. There is also a baseball field, pickle ball courts, a basketball court, picnic tables with shelter, and 2 trails leading to neighborhoods. It is fully of activities for the younger set, and it would be great to go there for 15 minutes to half an hour!

But I think we need to give this little park a chance! And this is why: When I was a kid the majority of Brattle Street, leaving Harvard Square, was lined with lilac bushes, and around May day of every year the whole street would stink of lilac, and my mom would sneak out and cut lilac branches and bring them home and the whole house smelled like Brattle Street. But in the past couple of decades the fashions have changed, and my dad and I have noticed that the more modern gardens on Brattle Street have removed their ancient lilac bushes, in favor of things like alliums and Japanese Maples. I love this funny, too-hot-in-the-bright-sun, where-is-the-art-?-Oh,-there-it-is,-that-teeny-tiny-mosaic-over-there, technology-meets-community-what-? park because someone made the decision to plant lilac bushes all over it, and that is what Cambridge means to me!

I grew up two blocks away from here, and generally speaking fear change. I was not excited. I have to say though, I was here in the spring and summer, eating take out from Cinderella's or ice cream from t\Toscannini's and it was packed with people out doing the same, enjoying the weather and local businesses. I have to say I'm impressed. Very little that the city does impresses me, so this came as a bit of a shock to me. There weren't parks like this when I was growing up, but it is nice to see families out here eating dinner together. It is like how Cambridge used to be. More of a neighborhood. I like it a lot.
