Castle Park

Good solid option for families in Dorchester — the climbing structure keeps older kids busy while the swings and slides sort out the younger ones, so you’re not constantly running between two different areas. The soccer field and open grass get a lot of use on weekends, especially when the weather actually cooperates. Ages 1 through 12 are well catered for, which isn’t always the case with parks around here. Worth knowing if you’ve got kids of different ages and need somewhere that works for everyone at once.
