Just across from Diesel Cafe, you'll find this lovely playground with one large, multi-level play structure for younger kids to climb on – music loves will be smitten by the instrument-inspired playthings found at the ground level! Others will enjoy the many slides and swings the park has to offer, while adults will appreciate the well-shaded area and seating. The playground also features balance beams and humps for the kids to climb and jump off of as well as a small spray area just outside the gates with plenty of benches for you to sit and sip your coffee while the kids play.

The Head of Accounting and Boston Ambassador, Jenny has been living in Boston for almost 10 years. Before Boston, she lived in Washington, DC for 8 years, and previous to that grew up on Long Island, NY. Along the way, she spent a few months in Amsterdam with her family biking all around and exploring that beautiful city! Jenny has always enjoyed being active - from organized sports to jogging, and of course, being in the garden as much as possible when the weather is cooperative. She tries to include her children in all of her active hobbies. With two toddler boys, ages 3 and 5, she and her husband spend their time discovering new places and things to do in the New England area. Spending time outdoors in all types of weather and encouraging her children to love all seasons is very important to her - and so is helping and encouraging others to do the same. Jenny and her family love spending time at the beach, traveling, taking walks and hikes, and of course, finding new playgrounds!
