There is a sturdy play structure with a slide, a kids balance beam, four swings, and a picnic table. It appears someone keeps it clean and maintained very well.

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.

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!

In 2023 this playground was renovated…read more Still recommend it. Now the ground is play material no longer mulch so accessibility improved! New playground equipment includes a seesaw for up to 4 children, one of those flower shaped seats that kids spin themselves in, xylophone, chimes, drums - and both sides where there were slides were redone too. It's still fenced in with gates on both sides.

Since most of the place is a salt marsh there are a ton of birds for watching. We saw a bunch of bunnies there too. There is a pier that people were fishing off of and a gigantic empty parking lot that would be perfect for a kid to learn to ride a bike. Or a teenager to learn how to drive. You probably wouldn't want both of those things going on at once though.

Finding ourselves in the area one chilly afternoon Fall/Winter, we decided to check out Pond Meadow…read morePark. Hours of Operation and Parking Information according to the website: Entrance gates open at 9:00 am and will close at posted time in the park.  The entrance gates are closed all day on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. From Weymouth, vehicle parking is available in the parking lot off Summer Street.  From Braintree, vehicle parking is available in the upper lots near the park office, and the lower lots near the start of the bike path. We arrived from the Braintree side and the time posted at the gate was 9am - 4:15pm. No trespassing after dark. We noticed parking by a covered picnic table area and jumped on the paved walking path from there. The path was divided by paint. Bikes, rollerblades, skateboards to the left and clockwise one way around the pond, pedestrians to the right, though the paint line disappeared after a while. I appreciated the paved path since it kept us from walking on the grass, and hopefully away from the ticks that some posted signs by the map were warning us about. We only went 15 minutes in before turning around, but found it pleasant but hilly, and ran across several other walking pairs - some with leashed dogs (in accordance to the rules), and no bikes. I did notice two bagged poop alongside the path though, one hanging from a tree at shoulder level. Watch the time if you come. Most of the parking was within the gates which will be locked at sunset. But if you walked in, you'll still be able to get out.

Secret Squantum Park has a GREAT view of the Boston skyline - especially at sunset. You can work your way along the small rocky beaches covered in zillions of periwinkles and find yourself looking over calm waters back to the shiny Kubrickesque monolith that is the John Hancock building. There's also good views of UMass, the JFK library and the mysterious Thompson Island. Oh, and if you like skipping stones - THIS IS THE PLACE. I managed 12 skips with one stone. New PB!
