More than meets the eye at the Dedham Plaza. On one side, the side facing Route 1, there's Stop &…read moreShop, Dress Barn, Men's Wearhouse, etc. But around back, there are additional stores, such as Tuesday Morning, Domino's, and Play It Again Sports. Play It Again Sports has a line up of their own parking spots right outside, labeled just for their own customers. Inside there are two counters - one for purchases, and another for selling them your used gear. I was there to have my skates sharpened, so I paused for a bit, then headed on over to the former. They took my name and skates and $6, and sharpened behind a closed door as I waited. I was told about this place by a couple of speedy skaters on recently sharpened hockey skates. Skate sharpening at the rinks, they said, are done by machines that just roll through the skates. At shops like this, it is done manually, and you can test your blades for sharpness by quickly rubbing your nails against it, as a sharp blade will shave off a bit of your nail. As I waited, I meandered the store. I noticed that they sell used tennis balls $1 for 3 (they buy used balls for 10 cents apiece), and the same for golf balls. Skates are out back. They don't string tennis rackets here, but suggested Boston Ski and Tennis in Newton. They call out your name when your skates are ready. Given my relative lack of (good) experience, I inquired how frequently skates ought to be sharpened and was told after every 6-8 hours of heavy use. No wonder they told me my blades were dull after having resisted sharpening for several years since a rather traumatic rink sharpening experience. I also picked up a pair of new bladeguards for $7.99. The other ice skate sharpening recommendations provided by those fellas were: MonkeySports, Norwood Sports Etc, Arlington *** Tried out my skates a week later, and it felt smooth against the ice.

Usually here for sneakers and they always have selection, promos, and the staff that work this section grabs the kicks fairly quick. We had waited for 3 diff staff members at the Boston one who said they were grabbing the sneakers and never came back or spoke to us again. Kudos to the staff today when we rolled thru. They have plenty of gear for all sports. You can do online buy with instore pickup. We needed a present for family bday and snagged a pair of Hokas, also ordered a pair online because they didn't have the size and color we wanted in store.

I love this Dick's Sporting Goods location!…read more This is a great place to go to get anything sports related. I've been coming here since I was a child to get sports equipment, they've got just about every, and anything. For clothes, they offer big brands such as Nike, Adidas, North Face, Patagonia, FP Movement, Calia, UA, & more. Here, they also have hockey equipment, lacrosse, basketball, fishing rods, athletic shoes, water bottles (YETI, Stanley, Owala), etc. Great selection offered here. Highly recommend! ;)

They carry hockey, lacrosse and baseball items only and it's wonderful for my son, except I left spending over $600. Bella was great at helping us but I had to go to the register to let her know we needed help in the ice skate section. She radioed for someone to go help us but no one responded so she ended up helping us and checking us out. We were pleasantly greeted when we walked it but it appeared as if no wanted to really work. They have ample equipment and a skate sharpening area. Everything is neatly organized by sport, making it easy to navigate and shop. I would return because they have things we need but they've gotta work on their service. There's ample parking.

They take such pride and ownership into their customer service that it is as though that are family and they built the building themself, brick by brick. Pride in their work is an understatement. There is no question or need they can't help with. A true family feel, this store is a hidden gem!

Accessible via Coney Street & Route 1 North. It has a huge section of shoes, and sandals as well as other sporting goods. It seems they have the most carts and racks of shoes.... as well as socks and TONS of other sports stuff. Staff are always friendly, approach all of the customers, and are very knowledgeable about sneakers/shoes and other products throughout the store. This location has the most variety (in comparison to the others I've been to.....) as well, for a plus. A great place in this area to stop by after or before checking the big box stores like Dick's, Sports Authority, or Walmart.

Pricing is on par with their competitors, usually don't see too many sales or promos outside the sales rack. Will be back!

They've got water bottles, shoes, and outdoor recreational equipment on the first floor & on the second floor they have a mix of women's, men's, and kid's clothing. I adore their duck boots, a must for the winter time... specifically their shearling-lined insulated model. Incredibly warm, perfect for snow days. Their "wicked good moccasins" are incredibly comfortable and I love wearing them in the fall/winter time. I've definitely gone through several pairs. Backpacks are super nostalgic; I had mine with my initials as a kid haha, honestly I would get another one. Good quality, got about ten years of use out of that backpack & it allowed me to carry 5 heavy textbooks and some more.
