Griggs Park

The paved loop in this park is great for kids to practice bicycle riding safely. The roads around the park are quiet and the trees block the street pretty well, so there is a nice sort of private feel to the park. There are a couple of basketball hoops here that are fun to shoot around on, but watch out for the dogs!

My oldest son lives across from Griggs Park and I love taking walks here in the morning when I visit here Dog-friendliness Very friendly off-leash park!

Nice park for kids but even better for adults. Only issue for me is that there is often standing water (? tiling/drainage not working) and the accompanying mosquito threat. Great for a picnic. Poor lighting in winter months near playground. I've seen several people doing photo shoots there, and I assume it is because it gets beautiful evening light because even on my phone camera I can get some gorgeous shots.

Sweet park that is beautiful in all seasons. This is our favorite local park. There is a playground and swings on one side, a large walking path, and an area for dogs (unfenced) to use as part of the Green Dog initiative. The willows and other trees are always beautiful. Great place to stroll, picnic and meet the neighbors.

This is a great small gem of a park. It has a pretty good play structure for kids from 3 years old to probably 8 or 9 years old. It also has very well maintained grass and gorgeous willow trees. It is perfect for picnics and hang outs, reading a book, and maybe taking a nap in the Sun.

What I love about this park is that it's so close to home for me, and the arrangement of the trees in the middle gives a sense that the park is much larger than it actually is -- an illusion of sorts. A wonderful place to walk and clear your mind, and there's usually some people- and animal-watching too! I love to see kids playing and dogs running about.

It's a beautiful and cozy place to relax and enjoy nature. It's a great place for walks with children or just to spend time outdoors.

Lovely park for families, dog owners and anyone wanting to get out walking. There is a paved 1/4 mile loop, play structure, swings, sand box and water fountain.

When you enter this little green oasis in Brookline, you feel such a sense of calm, relax and enjoy. It's a truly beautiful park.

Came here for the off-leash aspect. Besides the fact that the front gates don’t close and there are two entrances (so it’s not 100% fenced in) it’s an almost perfect spot. The entire thing is off-leash because it’s essentially one “big” 1/2 circle of land with a tiny playground in the center. It’s mostly a dog spot, but there were little kids in the playground which I loved because there is no fence around the playground - so everyone (dogs & humans) are in the same space. This location is off-leash from dawn to 1PM. Parking was super easy right in front of the park (unless I wasn’t supposed to park there which is always possible). PROs: Off-leash, clean, many dog/human friends, and parking. CONs: Isn’t fully fenced
