Parks / Playgrounds?

Another warm night tonight and I feel a strange craving to go play on some swings. Does anyone know of any parks/playgrounds in the Davis or Porter Sq area that don't close at dusk and have a swing set?

There's one on Holland as you head towards Broadway, on the right. I saw some grownups swinging there the other night :)

Yeah, watch out for those grown-up swingers.

I really like that swingset. :)

haha, I'm not a big Lilo and Stitch fan, but I really like your icon.

Oh, and swingsets rule!

I second the one on Holland. There's also one near Dali further down Washington St by 2-3 blocks (towards Union) where I used to live (and swing at night). And there's one off of the bike trail from Davis.

There are always people on the swings on Highland (across from Brooks, behind the basketball court) at night, I've never seen any get yelled at.

Is that the one near Paulina St? There's a baseball field there too.

Cool, thanks!

which direction on the bike trail?

[uberjay.livejournal.com]

Yes, at the corner of Paulina and Holland.

Between Willow and Cedar (the second length when walking towards Winter Hill/away from Mass Ave when leaving the Davis Sq. T)

This one's right outside my apartment. It's often filled with middle/high schoolers at night hanging/making out.

If I had a dollar for everytime I've been asked to buy someone alcohol there...


Other than that it's a nice swingset :)

I've played on the swings at the playground on Tufts campus before at night -- on Powderhouse, near the Latin Way suites if you know where those are. This was after the bars closed. No one really cared that we were there.

It's a nice swingset and generally a nice playground...
