There are slides and play structures for younger toddlers and older kids. Also, a sand pit with toy shovels and trucks for little ones to dig around. There is a small amphitheater area with a few donated soccer balls as well. Big secure gates ensure no kids escape into traffic. Plenty of trees around that will offer you shade during the summer. Beautiful brown stones surround you as your kids play. If only I lived in the city!

There are toys everywhere for the kids to share, which is nice, although most of them are understandably broken. The main reason for my lower review is that it is apparently shared with the local elementary schools. If you have a toddler, I would not recommend going here on a weekday during the day (at least on a Friday). There are far too many kids for a toddler to be safe, and my kid ended up getting frustrated and crying in the end, which is unusual for him. That said, all the older kids looked like they were having a great time.

Lots of children play here, of all nationalities; wonderful opportunity for my toddler to interact with others and be multi-lingual. Adjacent to the playground is a fenced dog-park/grass area for children's soccer/other ball games, so useful to older children and dog-lovers, too. Absolutely love this playground!

The park features a playground and number of structures for the little ones ages 2 to 12 and a swingset. It is well shaded and there are benches for the grownups to sit and supervise. As with other City of Boston parks, alcoholic beverages are not permitted and they do not allow skateboarding or bicycling here. No dogs. No smoking.

It is very nicely kept, has a cute little playground, and has plenty of places to sit and relax (in addition to the grassy areas). I have walked through this park countless times on my way to catch the T (it is next to the Tufts T stop), and when the weather is nice, it is a great place to take a quick break, catch some sun or eat your lunch. I often see many dog owners bringing their dogs here, although there is a small little, fenced-in dog park right around the corner. This park may be tiny, and lives in the shadow of the neighboring Boston Commons, but it really adds value to the neighborhood and is a wonderful little addition to the area.

I doubt we'll get there much in the warmer weather when it is an off-leash park only before 1 pm, but for the winter months, dogs have free reign of this large space all day. It's right on Brookline Ave, which means street parking is readily accessible. There is also a water fountain, but I didn't see any poop bag stations- good thing we brought our own. It wasn't too crowded in the late afternoon today, but the couple of owners I did meet were cool. There is definitely space for dogs and owners to do their own thing, or for the dogs to play together.
