Robbins Farm Park in Arlington is pretty cool, and great for sledding, too. They have a massive slide and great views of the city.

The old wooden ones were great, especially the one by Winchester Center @ Ginn Field, but they changed it. Alas, I am old now and no longer know an awesome playground when I see one. The new one looks decent, but not as exciting.

I searched in google maps for playgrounds, and this one came up - first picture looked underwhelming, but if you look at the other photos, they have some cool climbing stuff!

The Alden Play Area in Cambridge looks little, but fun:

This one is very different:

Nearest and dearest to my heart and ancestral homeland (and recently redone):

Damn you, OP! I have fallen down a playground rabbit hole!
