Newton's liveliest neighborhood playground: separate fully fenced toddler and big-kid areas, big ball fields and the shade of a few old trees alongside, and a 5-minute walk to the ice cream shops and library in Newton Centre when you are done.

💡 Tips

Weekend mornings 9–11 are prime toddler time; afternoons bring the bigger kids. Bring water in summer, as shade comes mostly from the trees. Pair it with the Newton Free Library and a Green Line D ride for a car-free half day.
