LOVE Robbins farm but hate the name "Skyline Park". Mr Robbins willed his farm to the town. Some woman recently decided to change the name of the park. I grew up one block away and 38 years later I cringe every time a realtor lists "skyline park"as an attribute. Robbins farm please. And *THE FARM #1* on the backstop if you really want to keep it real. (insert nod to all 13 year olds with a paintbrush in my neighborhood here)
Aloha

This is our favorite park! There's a variety of climbing structures, a wooden car and tractor for make-believe, tons of swings for big kids and babies (7 little kid swings!) There's the amazing slides built into the side of the hill which are perfect for racing down the hill with other kids. There's an abundance of green space for picnicking, playing ball, or flying kites. And the view of Boston's skyline...you just can't beat it!

beautiful rolling green hill with views of Boston in the distance and a well-appointed playground (plenty of the baby swings!) Plus, there's a fantastic slide! This is one of our family's favorite hang-outs.

We all love this park. The view of Boston is breathtaking and the play structures are tons of fun. I like that there is a toddler-friendly play structure, as well as a "big kid" play structure. Another really nice thing about this park is that it is partially shaded, which makes it a great choice in the summer. The green hills and big, old trees add to the charm, as well. Such a gem.

This is my son's favorite playground. The has a great long slide, and nice playground equipment. It is clean, and has a huge hill where my son likes to fly a kite or roll down the hill. It also has a beautiful view! IN the winter it is great to go sledding!
