Good playground, seems very new. Fenced in with gates. Play structures for big and little. The zip line is very popular. Playground has a little more height than others, which is nice. Splash pad is cute, a couple of above-head things and some jets from under. Also, well gated. There are benches all aroma be, covered and uncovered. Some shade from the trees. Bathroom is a portapotty. Parking is tricky, there is no lot. It's along the roads surrounding the area. Sometimes both sides of the street, which makes it a little narrow. Overall, fun times.

This was the best children's playground I have ever been to. I took my 14-month-old toddler and found a playground that was nicely subdivided into a toddler area, a young child area and then a grade school age area. The playground equipment was safe and very creative. And I really appreciated the cushioned ground for safety. We spent about an hour there. Just having a good time going from one toddler activity to another.

Fun, large, clean park! Two playgrounds for toddlers and older kids. Plenty of room for many children to play. Large splash pad with fountains and overhead buckets. Shaded areas with picnic tables. No parking lot but plenty of street parking, we've never had to walk more than 3 mins. We drive here from Natick and it's totally worth it!
