Top Parks in Newton, Middlesex county, Massachusetts, United states

Claflin Playground

Address: Newton, MA 02460, USA

“Lovely little park for throwing frisbee with kids in summer and sledding in winter. Many a story can be invented under the very large spreading tree.”

Charlesbank Park

Address: 26 Nonantum Pl, Newton, MA 02458, USA

“This is a great park for crawlers-no mulch! It's also accessible to wheel chairs, although there isn't play facilities, just an accessible picnic table and ramp up. It's well shaded, even around noontime. Away from fast traffic. Love it!”

Bullough's Pond

Address: Newton, MA 02460, USA

New Choice Home Deco

Houghton Garden

Address: 210 Suffolk Rd, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467, USA

“This is a little gem of a place that my wife and I happened to discover on our Google Map as we explored back streets of Chestnut Hill (Newton MA). Quite small, and just a remnant of what it used to be 100 years ago, but nevertheless well worth a quiet stroll in various seasons to see the foliage change. Like my wife said, "precious."”

Islington Oval

Address: Auburndale, MA 02466, USA

Norumbega Park

Address: 2285 Commonwealth Avenue, Auburndale, MA 02466, USA

“A nice little gem tucked along the Charles River between Auburndale and Waltham. The Auburndale Cove area is nice, always seems to be busy and full of kids, and the walking/running trail takes you all the way into Waltham with lovely views of the river and some of the buildings of Brandeis. Keep heading along the river and you end up at Moody Street after running alongside the old Watch Factory and the train tracks... and you can then connect with the trails that take you all the way downtown.”

The Cove

Address: 104 W Pine St, Auburndale, MA 02466, USA

“Great place for kids. Quite. Friendly.”

Auburndale Park

Address: 104 W Pine St, Auburndale, MA 02466, USA

“Great place for dogs to run around. Not sure if it's allowed but it's great to let them roam off leash. The dog people are great at this park. Keep your dog close and on leash around playgrounds. Helicopter parents get a little crazy if your friendly dog even approaches their precious little spawn. Other than that great place.”

Gath Pool

Address: 256 Albemarle Rd, Newton, MA 02460, USA

“5 stars for Gath, but search for "Harry Gath Memorial Pool" or "Newton Public Pool." This listing is outdated/incorrect (e.g. pool hours). I think this is an error of technology/Google rather than Gath. The other entry for this pool is more accurate. I suggested this in an edit, but don't know if Google will make the change. ”

Albemarle Field

Address: 250 Albemarle Rd, Newton, MA 02460, USA

“Viewed 4th of July fireworks here the past two years. They have food and gift vendors and a carnival with a bunch of classic rides and games. Any other day, parking is probably no problem, however on the 4th, don't plan on getting out on a hurry. We'll try biking next time.”

Avery Woods

Address: 351 Crafts St, Newton, MA 02460, USA

“Small trail system connected to F.A. Day Middle School and Albemarle Field. A good cut through for those jonesing for a little nature while on a neighborhood walk. If you are looking for more nature, I suggest taking Albemarle Rd in a northerly direction towards the river. There is a bike and walking path that runs the whole river that is beautiful as well.”

Address: 286 Waverley Ave, Newton, MA 02458, USA

“This small but mighty museum was a great stop on our Boston visit. We were welcomed immediately and our questions were answered. The set up and displays are great. Things to look at, touch, play with, and listen to. Even as adults we enjoyed the children's room. We we're fortunate to have the place to ourselves. Great for all ages. Our college age kids enjoyed too. Grounds were inaccessible in March but I'm sure they are beautiful in summer.”

Bare Pond

Address: Newton, MA 02459, USA

“This is a vernal pool, meaning it only has water in the winter and spring. There are several hiking trails totaling maybe 4 or 5 miles in the area, but also plenty of space to explore if you're up for it! This is my favorite place to hang out if I want some nature time. ”
