Best of Boston

With skyline views that top anything in the city, this beloved hilltop Arlington playground and sledding hill recently got a swanky upgrade. Created with universal design principles, the outdoor space now offers lots of ways to play: hoop rings, a carousel that accommodates wheelchairs, instruments, and even funhouse mirrors—though we’re thrilled that the signature 16-foot slides overlooking Boston remain. Bonus points for a stacked summer calendar of events, including concerts and movie nights.
