This is part of series photographing and reviewing playgrounds and parks in the Boston Metro Area; playgrounds are an important part of the infrastructure that promotes healthy early childhood development and should be celebrated and invested in to support young children and their families. So far, we have looked at:

1.     Perkins School For The Blind’s Playground 

2.     Pat and Gabriel Farren Playground 

3.     Transportation Children Center’s Playground

4.     Irving Park

5.     Smith Playground in Allston

6.     Watertown’s 552 Main St Playground

7.     Mother’s Rest Playground along The Muddy River

8.    Clifford Playground

9. Dorothy Curran Playground at Joe Moakley Park

10. Martin Richard’s Part at The Smith Family Water front

This post will focus on Filippello Playground which sits next to a larger park of the same name on the east end of Watertown. The park has many amenities including picnic areas, soccer fields, basketball courts and more. The playground itself is similar to many other playgrounds in the area. It does not provide many unique frills or touches but it does provide a safe and clean play space with all the basic features you would want in a playground like slides and climbing structures.
