Artesani Park & Wading Pool

The Artesani Park & Wading Pool (1255 Soldiers Field Rd, Brighton, MA), on the Brighton side of the Charles River, is the third wading pond we tried this summer. This one stands out because of its intense sprinkler/waterfall in the center, making it a combination wading pond and water park.

Outside the pool are two playgrounds, one for toddlers and one for older kids, that are cool in themselves (and great places for drying out).
