My friend and I came here on a Saturday morning. I didn't realize there were so many parking lots…read morearound, but we parked where the GPS took us. We walked a bit to the right and there were so many dogs - it must be an unofficial dog park, or happy hour for the dogs. They were all so cute. My friend had come before so he recommend we walk to Wright's Tower since it gives a vast view of the neighboring houses and landscape but also Boston in the far distance. It was a perfect hike of about 45 minutes there, and about an hour back since we did trailblaze a bit. We were following a GPS, but there are colors and signs periodically on the trees to guide you through the trails. I wouldn't say its too scenic, but it is relaxing and the terrain is perfect, with some spots being intermediate level but mostly all of it being beginner or easy. We did see some people on bikes, and others jogging. When we got to the tower, we went inside and climbed the stairs to the top. From there, you can look out in all directions to get some really nice views. It is worth the climb. We plan on eventually going back and trying longer or more challenging trails. But overall I think it's a gem that isn't too far from the city.

Wonderful place for a nice stroll. When I went one area was blocked off but they had bright orange…read moreflags to indicate a new path. I do wish that folks that visit will do better to not litter.

I bet sunrises and sunsets are especially impressive! There's signage by the playground that talks about the history of the site, and it's def worth a read! There's also a loop around the rock which is 1/4 mile if you want to go for a jog, and there's some equipment for kids and adults alike to enjoy including slides, monkey bars, and climbing ropes. Want to support this impressive park? Malden hosts annual park clean-ups! I participated in fall 2020 during which we picked up trash & glass shards (make sure to bring your own gloves) and planted trees. It's a great way to volunteer in the community and beautify a unique space for all to enjoy.

Well this morning we stopped there for a little bit to let the baby & it indeed is a PERFECT Toddler Park... (see pics) There are 2 kiddie swings & 2 regular swings, a little spider web thing that you can climb on, a little Fire Engine Climb on Thing & then the slide-stairs-climby combination apparatus... They were all small for little kids, there are several benches around the area, and there are also several picnic tables... Its a gated park with only one entrance (the gate actually worked)... It is ideally the greatest little park if you have smaller children who think they are supermen that can climb up the Big Kids slide & jump down it (at least my son does)... The ground was wood chips, which I tend to like much more than sand.. We will definitely be regulars at this park...

So we parked in the connected lot which was super convenient... The city was serving lunch as we got there & we were offered, but we did not parktake in it... I think its a great idea to give the kids free lunch during the summer. The park was packed & I think it might have been because it was lunch time and being that they do offer free lunch... All the Treehouse like structure thingys are all a little too big for my 2 year old...He did climb one once with the assistance of the 12 year old that was with us... None of the structures had stairs to climb up (just one little section), most of the methods of climbing up were ladders or chains, and that just doesnt work for my little one... If he was a bit older this would be a perfect park, and possibly if we came at a different time or maybe after summer. Because it was PACKED! We only stayed a short time!

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.
