This neighborhood playground at the corner of Clarendon Street and Commonwealth Avenue is usually hopping no matter what time of day. It's a popular spot for families and young mothers to congregate with their kids, and a great resource for many local schools, including Commonwealth School, that take students there daily for recess. The playground gets especially crowded in the mid-morning and early afternoon.

Kids can enjoy two play structures with large and small slides, swings, a sandbox, and an open area ideal for games like soccer or tag.  Considered a community treasure, the playground is also a hot spot for social events hosted by the Neighborhood Association of Back Bay, which puts on activites like the annual family Halloween and Opening Day parties.

In 2007 the playground underwent a $120,000 renovation to its amphitheatre seating area, and the NABB's Playground Committee works closely with the Boston Parks & Recreation Department to determine future renovations to the playground, as well as contribute to its  upkeep and maintanence. The Playground Committee is also always looking for volunteers.
