The Dragon Playground

If you’ve got kids in Cambridge and haven’t been here yet, sort that out. The dragon-themed climbing structure is genuinely cool — not just a lick of paint on some generic frame, it actually looks the part — and the slide gets a proper queue going on sunny days. When it’s warm, the splash pad keeps little ones occupied for way longer than you’d expect, which your picnic table setup will thank you for. The whole place is kept in good nick too, which isn’t something you can say about every playground round here. Chuck in a basketball court and a soccer field for older kids and you’ve got a solid few hours sorted for the whole family.
