Doherty Playground

349 Bunker Hill St, Charlestown, MA 02129

A Charlestown hilltop favorite with views over the Mystic River. The recently renovated park has a playground, a tot spray area for hot-day splashing, two basketball courts, picnic tables, and a covered shelter for snack breaks. Heads up: from Medford Street it's a climb — stairs or a long path up the hill — so budget a few extra minutes with little walkers.
