Fenced-in playground with a lot of space, splash pad, picnic tables and benches, some lay-down swings and just a basic climbing area. It's geared towards toddlers and smaller children. There are little shades though. There's a porter potty on the nearby soccer field. The parking lot next to it is reserved only for the nearby school, but I suppose on weekends, they won't mind.

Such a nice big Park for pups, kids, and families! I love that they give our pups space to run around and socialize! The Brookline rotary club REALLY put on a great dog day here Sunday November 7th, I can't wait for the next one!

There’s probably a dozen dogs of all sizes running and playing freely off-leash. Completely fenced in with locking gates. Waste bag receptacles. Water fountains not working on this visit (4-6-2021). Dogs are required to be leased outside of dawn to 1:00 PM, but it appears as long as there aren’t people wanting to use the park for sporting activities it’s ok to stay off-leash. That’s how it appears—I’m only here one day a month so not positive about the enforcement of leashes after 1:00 PM. Wide open field (grass) so you can see your dog everywhere they go in the park.

Great for kids and dogs alike! Went here wirh my sister and her fiance and my 4 kids for a bagel breakfast and it was a smash hit. The place is beautiful, open, and so alive! Someone had even made a little fairy house under a tree!

Great dog-friendly dog park! Massive area, all fenced-in with latched gates. There's large open areas with grass and sand along with more "woodsy" areas with trees and bushes. Wonderful little environment for your furry friends.
