Kids are not permitted without adult supervision yet people think it's ok to ignore these rules at virtually every skatepark in Boston that I've been to. Don't follow the Boston parking laws. Harvard University is on a power trip and tickets cars that otherwise wouldn't be ticketed if it were the BPD. Got a ticket for not paying a meter on a Sunday. Every car on the street did. Clearly they're making up their own rules.

Well designed and fun for all. My only issues- parking is slim unless roadside is ok and the bigger kid structure really has no "easy" way up. My little loves the big kid slides but the only ways up are way out of his ability which is a bummer - so some kids even of the right age could have issues. Otherwise. Really great, clean and fun playground. We know are playgrounds and this is a great one.

However, this is a perfect playground for all ages, from age 2 on up. There are four different sections: a wooden play set for older kids, a toddler section, another wooden play set for toddlers and older kids, and a climbing structure off to the side for older kids. The wooden playground equipment in the middle is perfect for playing chase, because there are lots of bridges to run on and spaces to hide under. Climbers will love all of the things to climb on, including a wall with a rope to help you scale. There are slides galore, bridges, monkey bars, fireman poles, ropes, tunnels and steps. The only thing: There are no swings here! But there are so many other things to do that you don't even miss them. One of the best things about the playground in this park is the view. You can see the Charles River from this playground, as well as all of the beautiful buildings and bridges around Boston.

It's fenced in, which is a plus. There is no parking, which is a minus. But it's walkable from the green line. Stroll over to the nearby Lee Memorial Wading pool to make a whole day of it with your little ones. ETA: there actually is parking, over by the wading pool, but you have to put your life at risk by slowing down enough on Storrow drive to turn into it. Then you have to try to get back on... obviously this outrages everyone else on Storrow to the point of lewd gestures and angry horns, since they're so busy with their important lives.

That's right, yelpers... parenthood and old age are staring you down. Cummings Park Playground is the favorite playground for my 1.25yr old. The climbing/play structures are built on large sand areas, so it's like a giant sandbox (with clean sand no less). There are quite a few donated toys lying around (many of which are trucks), so there's lots to play with. 3 toddler swings, 2 big kid swings. A small basketball court with one hoop. The whole park is nicely laid out. I feel perfectly comfortable just sitting back on one of the benches and letting him walk around and explore. The best part is that its primarily used by 1-4yr olds, and there is almost always some kids there to play with (especially in the mornings). It can get busy, but it never gets too busy/insane (like Alexander W. Kemp playground in Harvard Sq). Generally speaking, the big kids and teenagers keep away. The worst part is that it has very little shade. In fact, there is no shade on the climbing structures, so they can get hot in the middle of the day. There are a few trees, but they aren't positioned particularly well. All the exciting stuff that your kids will want to play with are in the sunny spots. So I would recommend it as a early/mid-morning playground.

A few years back, I looked at an apt right across the street from this park so I recently revisited…read morethis playground with my toddler (20 months). The first thing that struck me about this park were the separate play areas for under 5 and over 5 kiddos. I tend to go to the park on Summer St but there is only one structure and when the bigger kids play Tag, I always worry about my daughter getting knocked over or off the structure. The under 5 structure has only one opening through which there is potential for a fall; otherwise, the panels are closed. The structure offers opportunity to develop the gross motor skills through climbing and crawling through tubes. I genuinely appreciate the three baby swings as well as the sand (vs wood chips). Another big bonus is that Whole Foods is just a short walk down the street. There is a small basketball court adjacent to the playground but doesn't seem to be frequently utilized. This definitely seems to be a more family friendly park!
