They were Chinatown residents who were always trying to improve residents' lives. The playscape has many holes for kids to climb into and a slide. It's placed on green turf. There were tulips planted nearby. A great spot to let the kids release some energy in Chinatown town. Also, a good people watching spot.

Great to have a beautiful art space in the middle of Chinatown. However for a parent looking for a…read moreplayground for a toddler, I'd consider other options.

This park has two baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts and a kid's playground. One of the swings in the playground actually supported my weight and swung easily. This totally brought back memories of me when I would beg my parents to take me to a playground with a swing because my neighbors were hogging the swing that was in my grandpa's backyard. During winter, you can see kids sledding on the small hill. Between 0430 to 0630pm, you can see people bringing their dogs before sunset. It's really fun to see the dogs hop around the snow like bunnies although it's not so fun when you accidentally step on sniper poop that is hiding in the snow patiently waiting to make a squishy impact with your snowboot. During the summer, parents of furry children hang out and drink beers and enjoy the relaxing weekend. All of the pet owners seem to be responsible and they only bring friendly/socialized dogs. Some even bring enough water to share with the other dogs so that no dog is forced to chug nasty mud water that sometimes hang around in the corners of the park. I just love how everyone is friendly, both canine and human. The only drawback is that the park is not completely fenced in so if you have a psychotic dog like mine, get ready to chase after your furry child so that he/she doesn't get hit by a car. Also, I wish that during the summer, they keep the lights on everyday, even if it's just for a few hours. I noticed that they only keep it on when there's a soccer or baseball match.

It is a really cool find among the urban setting. Avoid as dusk - lots of mosquitoes. There is a runoff from somewhere that is polluting the pond but hopefully they are on top of that. I would also suggest avoiding in the evening unless you are in a largish group. We ran across a small group of 20 somethings doing drugs. It made me sad (and nervous) but reminded me you can never be too careful.

How awesomely cool is this! I love this parkway greenway beltway thing that they have going on here with in parallel with the Orange Line. I don't remember any of this from the time I spent in Boston a number of years back. This is a very cool bikeway / walkway that extends quite a looooooong distance from downtown into the Jamaica Plain suburbs. If I lived here and had a bicycle, I'd be on this every day the weather was good. Super cool! Please note that there is a separate path for the bikes and the walkers, mkay?

The Southwest Corridor is my beloved pedestrian highway!…read more I LOVE it. But minus one star for occasional shady characters that make you want to avoid walking alone at night as well as the extremely high noise level, afforded by the passing Orange Line and Commuter Rail. Since I moved to JP last April, I discovered the amazing convenience of both the Orange Line and the SWC. They both give you a direct shot into the heart of Back Bay with little to no interference from vehicular traffic. The SWC is a chain of paths, parks and green space running from Forest Hills station to Back Bay Station, ending at Dartmouth Street. It's fun to appreciate that the park was actually built along the remnants of the old B&P Railroad line. A portion of the track space was salvaged for the existing O Line and Commuter Rail, but the rest was turned (thankfully) into a chain of bike and pedestrian paths, green space and recreational areas. Thank you Boston! If you ever take the time to walk, bike or run the entire span of the SWC (just under 5 miles) you will surely revel in the ample playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts, wading pools, roller hockey rinks, garden spaces, open grass and park benches that you never knew existed. I can't express enough my love of this little gem in the city. I can easily skip a T ride and run home from work along the miles of paved pathway or I can leisurely walk my dogs through the grassy areas, allowing them to stop and play with the oodles of other pups in the 'hood. All I'm waiting for now is to get a bike, and then I won't need the T at all! And to only think...the Southwest Corridor space was actually slated in the 60's to become an 8-12 lane HIGHWAY connecting I-95 and Rte. 128. Could you imagine the obscenity?! Even if you've never used the Corridor, I hope you can at least now appreciate that it isn't a highway. Get out and explore and enjoy it, please!
