Playgrounds of Fenway, Back Bay and East Brookline
I'm a new dad. My son is nearly a year and half and finding the right playgrounds has become a kind of treasure hunt for me. To my surprise, there are nearly a dozen in my extended neighborhood that I don't mind walking to and I'm guessing you won't either. Please click on the playground name to see where it is on google maps. I hope this helps all you newer parents out there, trying to navigate raising a child in the city. Please reach out if you have any real estate questions at [email protected], Message me or just get to know my vibe.
