Was out driving around today looking for someone for the kids to play & randomly saw this park…read more.. Decided to pull in & give it a try... Its probably the best park I have seen/been to this summer... They had so many different little stations. They even have this Music area where there are drum like pedestals that when you bang on make music & big chime like things you can bang hammers off to make noise... it was super cool! There are several slides, plank like walking pedestals & monkey bars.. There is a sprinkler section... There are tons of Picnic tables under a covered roof to hide in the shade, you even have to walk over a bridge to get there... Kinda cool! Only downside, no close bathroom & its woodchips which I admit is great for when kids fall, but horrible for women in flip flops! Will defintely be coming back.

Great park, preferably for older children 6 and up. If…read moreyounger make sure you have your hands free and can walk through the obstacles with them. Lots to do! And they have a toddler area, but my toddler wasn't interested.

Wow! What a lovely playground…read more Some other Quincy Moms recommended it and we finally checked it out yesterday. My 3 year old spent over an hour running all around - trying out everything. Most of the equipment is tot lot age but older siblings can find fun too. There are swings, slides, music makers, "car wheel", and some other fun turn and things happen games. There's even tic tac toe! We'll definitely be back.

The playground is suitable for younger toddlers as well as older kids. The basketball court and tennis courts are in great shape and well maintained. There is even an outdoor ping pong table!

One of the basketball systems towards Sagamore Street (left side facing Sagamore) tends to be 9 foot 6 inches. Basketball court is a high school court. High school 3 pointer.

Ryan Park (aka the Father Francis A. Ryan Memorial Playground) is a public park and playground area…read morein the Mattapan section of Boston, Massachusetts. Amenities at the park include a playground with multiple playscapes, a splash pad with a wading pool, basketball courts, tennis courts, public restrooms with changing areas, walking paths, and convenient access to the nearby Neponset River Greenway. My family and I visited Ryan Park this past summer while we were cycling along the Neponset River Greenway. I had previously visited the park back in 2023 while I was cycling the trail with my older son. He had a lot of fun playing on the playscapes. Unfortunately, I didn't bring his bathing suit along on that trip and he felt bad that he couldn't play on the splash pad. On my more recent trip to Ryan Park, we were joined by my wife and younger son and this time we made sure to bring bathing suits. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the splash pad had been completely redone since my last trip. The newer splash pad had features that were more consistent with a wading pool. Both of my sons had a blast splashing around. Once swim time was over, we all enjoyed our prepared picnic lunch on a nearby picnic table. Afterwards, both boys had fun running around on the playscapes. Overall, my whole family thinks that Ryan Park is a great place for young children and it's easily accessible by motor vehicle, bicycle, or public transportation.

Why did I only find this on the LAST day of summer??!?…read more Seriously though. This spray park is AMAZING. It is really just a water slide short of being an actual tot water park. You would pay a $60 entry fee for access to a little water play area like this at a big water park. It's got a really good sized wading pool with lifeguards on duty. There are tons of spray features - an alligator, a turtle and a snake. There's also this awesome bucket contraption that fills up six buckets with water and then dumps them out over and over. It's totally fun! There are plenty of benches, with nice sun canopy shades overhead. There's even a bathroom / shower facility adjacent to the water features! That's just the water park. Ryan playground is seriously stacked. There's a huge area with two giant play structures. It's got a wood chip base (not updated with the rubberized surface that many newer playgrounds have) and some benches. There are also tennis and basketball courts! And it looks like they are currently finishing construction of a walkway to provide access to the Neponset River walkway. I'm excited for that! Last but not least - this is Boston after all - there is a parking lot! YES - parking. It is small, but dammit, it's there and it's free!!! We will be back SO many times. I wish it didn't take me this long to realize this place was 5 minutes from my house. Hidden Bostonplayground gem!

We used to come here often when we lived nearby so it was nice to revisit and see the playground again. Highly recommend if you live nearby and you have young energetic kids!

I love this playground in Milton. Great for infants up to teens!…read more The ground of the playground is bouncy material - safe for littles to fall on. There are all sorts of hidden gem fun: the rain wall for example & the drums. Plenty of parking but missing one star because there's no restroom available.

The main feature of the park is the regulation sized track and field facility which was getting a nice workout today from several folks doing laps and getting their exercise. Too hot for me and I already had two miles from walking around Quincy. In addition to the track, the park also has a playground and five lighted tennis courts.
