    This place is dope AF! They had a live DJ, a big Chess board, multiple cornhole stations, other games, good, drinks (the drinks are super expensive, but it's good) swings! We went at night the swings light up! Just a really cool atmosphere! I would recommend you checking this place out & also hitting up the little liquor store across the street when leave! That dude is super cool!

    I had the best day. This was a company party and everything thing was free. There was a lot of food, drink and an ice cream bar. Entertainers were throughout the park and lots of fun all day.

    Neat place. Very clean. Turf instead of grass, which is understandable, but saddening. Great live music. This is a really great place to hang out with friends, because there are lawn games to play, like cornhole, or ping pong. Drink selection is acceptable, but not amazing. And a bit overpriced. I'm having a good time.

    The employee Kurt or Curt was amazing. Turned a hard day of mourning into a celebration. Our spirits were low and we were looking for a great place to escape and he created an amazing bond and lifted our spirits! The place it’s self had an amazing summer experience for the family. Felt like home at this place! Can’t wait to go back and experience amazing customer service & great atmosphere again! Memories will be made here for the family, or with friends or date night. Staff is personable and spectacular ♥️

    It was a great last minute decision to go with my family on 1 of the best days this spring. We enjoyed the good music & life-sized games in the beautiful sun!

    Super cool space. The event we attended was open to families. The DJ was great, folks were happy, loose, free and dancing. It felt warm and loving. The mine to get food and drinks was slow and long though.

    Wonderful place to hang out and bring friends and family. Swings are SUPER FUN, they have lots of games and even music sometimes, but also drinks and snacks. It is even romantic enough for a fun date location after dark. Sometimes there are freebies given out for partnered events with other companies. They do close for the winter tho because nobody wants to be outside in freezing Boston temperatures. I do recommend everyone visit here to see how fun it can be!

    What a great place to have a company summer event. Right outside of the Boston Convention center with lots of different activities and really good food served buffet style. Lots of friendly staff to serve and assist. And the weather was perfect that day, too! Only negative- $25.00 to park for 2 hours???

  • 5/5 Reviewer 5. 9 months ago on Google • 223 reviews
    Awesome place to hang out. There was a DJ, many games to play including an awesome soccer ball pool game and several cornholes. I wish more of the swings were still up, but they are great. You can get food and drinks and just hang out. Admission is free.

  • 1/5 Robert T. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for Millennials to act out their permanent adolescence on fun swings and bubbleboy suits. When will these people grow up and start acting like mature adults... you know, with jobs, and wives, and kids... when?

    Sterile space with fake grass made for compulsory corporate-sponsored fun. No charm. Gentrification has sucked the air out of the whole vicinity.

    It’s an open park for everyone, but sometimes they host a private event so the park is closed for public. Check it before you go.

    I have wanted to to this park but the past time I tried, it was closed the first time I tried. This time it was open, they had a lot of activities and the swings were the best part. I read reviews about how people hog them and others who may want to take pics can't even get on one. Luckily, this wasn't the case.

    It's an ok place to hang out with friends and listen to music in an outdoor setting. There's a few games like Cornhole that you can enjoy playing. There are also swing sets available to lounge around on or take pictures on. Food and Drinks are also available for purchase at this venue

    I have been during private events where I had limited time and food trucks - that was great. Going with friends was less fun since we didn't get to play any lawn games. They were all taken for over an hour. The swings weren't though. It was free though so I can't complain too much.

    Great place to spend an afternoon in sunshine. Swing on the swings. Enjoy live entertainment in the tent or enjoy a rousing game of cornhole.

    Love this place! Super cute free place to visit. You will probably have to wait a bit for a swing to open up

    Fun place to hangout. If I’m in the area and have some time to kill, I’ll bring a book to read. I’ve come here on a date & also to hangout with friends. It’s family-friendly and a great spot to spend time. The live music is usually pretty good and is consistent. Big fan!! Love all the giant games they have to play: chess, checkers, connect 4, Jenga

    I went while The Lawn on D was operating under COVID-19 precautions. Every staff member wore a mask and followed social distancing rules, were friendly, and prompt with service. The food was good with quality you'd expect, but a bit cold when it got to the table. Overall, a good experience, definitely would return should I find myself in Boston again.

    This space was great. We were at the convention center for the Inbound conference and they had the lawn surounded by food trucks for lunch. Fun hanging chairs, from what I was told they light up at night. Life sized chest looked fun, wish I had time for a games and there was outdoor ping pong tables as well.

    Love this place! So many games to play and great music.

  • 5/5 K0nstance 6 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Awesome place, right outside the Boston Convention Center, but not a part of it. You can actually enter this area without going to the event being held at the venue itself. Which is great. The food is so good too. I'm a huge fan of soft pretzels & I was not disappointed by theirs. I was also truly surprised with how good their fries were. On one side of the tent, there's a big play area with a bunch of games & swings for everyone to play on. It's an overall great place to just chill and relax. Side note, there's this sign right behind the stage area. It has USB outlets to charge things, but I didn't see anything advertising this. This is amazing and a total life saver.

  • 4/5 Michael F. 2 years ago on Google
    Free entry, little to no lines for beverages during Saturday Day. Plenty of space for additional games which would be a nice touch. Only 1 of each board game. Food trucks not open unfortunately. Would return.

  • 5/5 Ne A. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place for hanging out with friends and family. Boston’s most innovative and dynamic outdoor place.

  • 4/5 Tanish R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for cool hang. The swings light up. Pretty chill. If you want good pics would recommend going before sunset. The phone camera cant handle the high contrast at night

  • 5/5 ODIRLEY L. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent place to hang out with family defiantly recommend going at night to swing on the lights halos 😁😁😁

  • 5/5 Nelli “LesgoTRAVEL” V. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Melissa A. 2 years ago on Google
    So much fun! I LOVE BOSTON !! Always something to do !!

  • 5/5 William F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park for free. Good beer selection, ok good truck. The swings are really cool and they had enough Cornhole setups to get one without waiting too long. My only gripe would be the huge Jenga, need a couple more of those.

  • 5/5 Sabrina N. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the experience, all staff wearing mask, enough sanitizer around, tables distant from each outers and a really great burger, I'll come back for sure :)

    Went on a Friday night at 5:30pm for my 1st visit, this place was DEAD, which is a shocker considering it’s after work gets out in a business district (Seaport) on a Friday. There’s multiple hotels around this venue, a concert venue that is a 10 minute walk away. There’s a TON of potential for this place but it was disheartening to want to try this place for years, and get there and it’s crickets. Free entry which is cool, a good handful of lawn games such as cornhole, chess, checkers, jenga, ping pong. There was a DJ sadly playing to employees only. What I didn’t get was after seeing so many pictures of people enjoying the swings, there were only 2 swings there. Big let down. The venue is operated by Rebel Restaurants, a local chain group who owns Temezcal Tequila Cantina, Jack’s Coal Fired Pizza & Tony C’s. Zero ad space referencing any of their companies. Management should consider a severe marketing campaign aimed at filling the place to portrait to prospective guests what the potential and value the venue offers. Go building to building in the Seaport, Downtown & offer free catered food to businesses for events and get them to tag the venue on social media. Every hotel in that area should have a pamphlet on the desk of every hotel room. Partner with area schools to do sponsored nights and fundraisers to target kids and families. No reason the place should have about 15 people at 5:30 on a Friday when the workday ends at 5. Don’t let the working people in Boston leave Boston at 5. Give them a reason to stay later and fill your venue. I was in the city for a country concert at Leader Bank Pavilion, a 10 minute walk away. Nobody else there appeared to be going to the concert. Maybe match your DJ’s music or have themed events before concert time designed around the clientele attending the concert. Food was mediocre, fast-service food items not exactly justified by the prices, good selection of beers. Overall, just middle of the road with a lot of potential.

    Good place to visit! During the fall weather is so good to swing there. During the night they shine!

    Went on my birthday and had so much fun

  • 3/5 Gav H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great premise without the execution. Lovely space and area but unfortunately food and drink options are lacking. No draft beers and always limited food trucks. If they could give this place more of a sowa market feel with food trucks and alcohol vendors it could be a real hit.

  • 5/5 Emily S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service

  • 5/5 Bridgete C. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a wonderful place to be in the summertime. The music, snack food, and open space is a great space to relax and chill with friends and family.

  • 5/5 Tatiana P. 6 years ago on Google
    One of the very few places where I saw a great amount of people interacting with each other. Very few phones or electronics in general were spotted. Kids and adults laughing and playing together!

  • 4/5 J P. 4 years ago on Google
    Food from the main bar is great, many activities to do such as two giant swings and the ping pong tabels. If there aren't any employees or events going on you cannot get access to their equipment, so if you go here I would recommend you bring your own.
