Even though I am older and a little heavier, I actually spent a lot of time in these woods as a kid…read moreand went back recently. In scouts we did a lot of hikes to Dungeon Rock, Balancing Boulder, Wolf Pits, Steel Tower, Rock Tower, and all the other attractions in these woods. There's no camping and no fires. This is essentially a municipal park, second only to Central Park in NYC. What is intriguing is the history the woods have. The legend of the pirate Thomas Veal trapped with his treasure at Dungeon Rock spurred the imagination of people like Hiram Marble to use mediums for guidance digging into the rock for Veal's treasure, to no avail. This is the most stirring to the imagination as people visit the woods. Dungeon Rock and Rock tower are not always open (unfortunately). The internet is not a great help, I would recommend contacting the Friends of Lynn Woods to find out when. One must go into the manmade cave cleared by the Marble family who for years used dynamite, hammer, chisel, and baskets to clear out the cave.

This is one of my hubby's favorite places to walk in the woods. I've come with him a couple of…read moretimes and I enjoy it too. There are various trails and offshoots to explore on. There is a body of drinking water that the town uses for its water but the trails are not super close to it. For a bit of one, you can walk near it and the views are pretty. We saw a cool bird near the water - but couldn't tell what it was. It seems like there are some swampy areas so be prepared for the bugs and don't forget to always check for ticks. They're really bad this year!

So we parked in the connected lot which was super convenient... The city was serving lunch as we got there & we were offered, but we did not parktake in it... I think its a great idea to give the kids free lunch during the summer. The park was packed & I think it might have been because it was lunch time and being that they do offer free lunch... All the Treehouse like structure thingys are all a little too big for my 2 year old...He did climb one once with the assistance of the 12 year old that was with us... None of the structures had stairs to climb up (just one little section), most of the methods of climbing up were ladders or chains, and that just doesnt work for my little one... If he was a bit older this would be a perfect park, and possibly if we came at a different time or maybe after summer. Because it was PACKED! We only stayed a short time!

What a hidden gem! This popular playground has it all - giant climbing slide structure, a rubber…read morehill with lots of things to climb, spinning platform, and several swings in the shade. There are structures for both younger toddlers and older kids to enjoy. There is a splash pad for the summer and basketball courts to enjoy as well. It was a huge hit for the little one and we stayed for 2 hours. Lots of parking in a paved lot. Benches and tables for eating. No bathrooms though. Located in the heart of Lynn's Hispanic neighborhoods, it is a very popular spot for families for good reason.

There was a lot of hazard tape, fencing and rat traps around the area. They also had new seating/benches in place. The playground itself was nice but needs some maintenance and removal of graffiti. Also, a water fountain and dog park would have been nice. There's ample room for them. This park has a lot of potential and has a lot more than similar parks.
