Located on the water, right off the Arlington Minute Man trail, is a fully gated park with plenty of shade and benches. Our boys love riding their bikes here along the trail, playing in the park, and sitting by the water to feed ducks, and watching kayakers float by.

The playgroud features slides and tubes for toddlers and infants, plenty of swings, and a few different climbing structures. In the morning most of the park is shaded. A water fountain and a porta potty can be found at the park entrance.

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!
