Joyce Playground, also known as Priscilla Playground to
locals (or so I'm told), is a bright, colorful playground that includes some
fun twists on the typical equipment - especi
ally
for older kids - that I haven't seen at any other playground so far. The main
playground section is fully enclosed, and outside there is a water play area
with inground sprinklers, basketball courts, and some additional swings. It was
decently shaded at 10 a.m., though I'm guessing it's the opposite in the
afternoon.
I walked, so I can’t say for
sure, but the parking situation seemed pretty grim – there are some
patches of 2-hour parking on
Prsicilla
Street about half a block from the playground, but
not much. If I read the signs on
Union
Street correctly, that street is resident-only
parking on weekdays only, so your best bet might be to drive over on a Sunday.
If anyone has any alternative suggestions, please let me know in the comments!
(Tip from a reader: “It might be possible to park on the
other side of Chestnut Hill -- some of those streets are only resident-only
during BC football games, and the rest are available anytime.”)
This is a really great blog! Thanks for making it. Priscilla park is the best on Saturday afternoons. It totally fills up with kids and parents and is really a community center-point where a lot of people who probably wouldn't talk otherwise end up mingling. It's nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've never been there on Saturday and the extra information is always appreciated.
