About the Venue

Martin's Park is one of Boston's best-known family playgrounds and also one of its strongest officially documented accessible options. The city's accessibility inventory lists stair-free access to all play levels, wheelchair access to the slide, play panels, a dish swing, and musical play, plus spray play and shaded seating. The harborfront setting and well-finished public realm make it especially comfortable for adults and grandparents joining the outing. It is a great choice when you want a polished destination park with strong inclusive features and an easy wow factor for kids.
