Menino Park — Attraction in Boston

This is a wonderful park in Charlestown right along the water in part of what used to be the Boston Navy Yard, where ships were built for World War II. Now it has been refurbished with boardwalks along the water and a fabulous playground with a special squishy soft surface that is easy to walk on and would cushion any falls that a child or anyone else might have.

There are benches to sit on, as well, and those fixed binoculars to look across the river that one usually has to pay a quarter for or a dollar, but these were free.

Thomas Marino decided a place for kids to be kids and knowing the positive impact of watching happy children had on people fighting the hardest of battles would have, used his own assets and money to create on the greatest children's parks in the world!...

Big, beautiful and attracting playground for kids. It might be of the top 3 playgrounds in the greater Boston area. All the ground is covered by plastic pads of several colors. Here are devices that you usually cannot find in other playgrounds, like rotating benches, swinging big flat-bottom iron baskets, fixed musical-instrument toys (iron xylophone, drums, pipe bells, though the 8 pipes have only 4 tones) in the 3D maze. By the way, the drinking fountain...
