Robbins Farm Park — Attraction in Arlington

If you're on the top of the hill, there's a beautiful view of Boston. It's a nice place to take a photo with that in the background. Anyway, what a difference a year can make. This park was nice for the playground and mainly walking around in the beginning. It needed some extra love and care though. Granted there's still some construction in progress. It's coming along. Being that I'm a dog walker in Arlington, I will take the pups here for a nice walk. If you're not familiar with the area, the park is located on Eastern Avenue. There's a middle school across from it. There's only street parking, but you'll notice that. The playground area is great for the school kids because it's across the street, but it's also open to the public to enjoy. There's a jungle-gym, swings, and two long slides. There's trashcans out front. There was a Porta Potty, I don't know if it's still there. But I remember when construction was happening, I saw one out front. If you want to explore up the hill, just follow the walkways they've added. Nice touch. There's benches to sit on at the top of the hill where you can enjoy the view of the city. Trashcan next to benches. Very convenient. If you follow the walkway to the back of the park, you'll notice a basketball court. They worked on that last year, looks much better. Next to the basketball court, you'll see they have a soccer goal without a net. There's usually one or a few kids playing basketball or soccer when I'm walking by. Right now they're still remodeling the baseball field. They've been working on it since last year. That'll be great once finished. Overall this is a nice area for activity and sports, dog walking, place to bring the kids, and simply...

Not too much over there to see really I didn’t find it to be all that great there’s too much field area and not really enough in the way of an actual playground it’s pretty much just one big giant baseball and soccer field with not that much of playground equipment for the Kids with all that land they have they could have added way more even the basketball court is pretty small as well it doesnt even have a tennis court which there is plenty of room for. & a restroom facility would also be nice instead of that nasty germy portapotty they have. I really only came here for the view which you get an awesome view of Boston of. only drawback is it looks like it gets really busy in the summer when The weather is warm also there isn’t really any shady areas here so you can tell it gets really hot as you are in the middle of a wide open field& freezing cold in the winter overall it’s pretty nice but again not much around the area and hardly anything in the field for recreational activities. as I mentioned it’s a big wide open area and they could have added more than what is currently there even though at one point this place may have used...

Really nice park, large open areas, also has a lot of height variation, perfect for drone flying, or surface RC. Enough space for my Traxxas UDR to hit 50mph with plenty of room to hold it flat out. Best for RC when park is empty of course. You absolutely must watch out for children, which tend to stay towards the playground at the lower grade of the park.

The top grade (of 3 levels) is usually wide open in the late fall, and early spring, between school hours typically. Weekends are busy except in winter. Beautiful view of Boston's wonderful skyline when standing at the upper two height levels. This is not an AMA sanctioned flying park, so keep that in mind if flying drones or other aircraft.

I've flown here many times, but with racing drones only, and only when a level is mostly empty. Surface vehicles are a great choice here though, again only when mostly open and void of parents...
