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.

This is a great little public park designed with small children in mind…read more The park has a colorful large climbing adventure/slide structure smack dab in the middle. There are benches to sit and relax, enjoy a book, coffee, lunch or just friendly conversation. Parking is easy as the park is attached to a small but sufficient public parking lot. There are large trees for shade and nice grassy areas for relaxation or a nice picnic for the kids. FYI - No bathrooms at this park. Trash receptacles are scattered threw-out. I give Crest Avenue Park a Solid 4 Stars.

Day 48: Whilst exploring this new world I've ended up in, I cycled past a small gap between houses…read moreon the back streets behind Mass Ave. This gap has some strange features and a sign saying "Franklin Secret Park". I will have to return soon to explore more. ======== Day 151: That weird secret park I saw all those months ago has popped back into my mind, I'll have to return soon to discover the secret - but I'll never reveal it on Yelp. Never. Secret is a secret. ======== Day 623: THE SECRET PARK! I totally forgot and here it is next to me on my random walk. It must be fate. Ok - time to explore. Hmm... it seems it's taking the place of a missing house. Why was no house here? What happened? Does this ground possess weird magnetic forces? Franklin - Ben Franklin - Electricity... it would make sense! All around me are strange cultural symbols with semi-Asian themes and possible imagery like gateways into another world perhaps. Yin-Yang? Karma? This all must mean something big. This secret park must be more than a park - in fact, it's not much of a park at all - where are the flowers? where is this grass? It's just a strange empty space with concrete, bushes, benches and symbolism. I move further into the park. I think I'm nearing the deepest point. I feel danger, apprehension and curiosity. What's this? A giant metal dome surfacing through a thin layer of grass! Could it be... is it... A HATCH?! I skirt around looking for clues. How do I open the hatch? What's inside? What are these strange markings etched here? Numbers? 23, 42? Button? End of the world? Magnetic forces that will move Cambridge into a new dimension? So many questions! Am I being watched by a smoke-monster? Oh no, it's just a cat. Diary... it was too much. I fled in terror but plan to return with assistance to break the dome with 18th century TNT (even though it wasn't invented then). Then I'll climb in and have pancakes with a strange Scottish guy who keeps calling me brother. We'll save the world together. ======== Day 623 + 42 hours Shit, the sign says Franklin STREET Park. Ok, that's not that interesting after all. Ooops.

This is just a cute little park on Franklin Street near my house. I reccomend walking down…read moreFranklin Street in general- it runs from Central Sq. off of Pleasant (off of Mass. Ave.) towards Harvard Sq. It's a really cute street with some interesting architecture, including a fence with neat cut outs and metal bars, a house with Frank Ghery type windows and the Franklin Street Park. The park is small but unique. The "grass" is astroturf and there is a random metal silver dome, poking out of the ground, which you can walk on or lie on- just cool. There is also a sprinkler area where you can push a button and a sprinkler comes on to cool you off! This is presumably for children but I like to play. Finally there are picnic tables where you can enjoy a chat, card game or lunch. Enjoy!
