Ross Playground is a vibrant and well-maintained park located at 145 Westminster Street in Boston, Massachusetts. As part of the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, we are dedicated to creating and preserving clean, green, safe, and accessible open spaces throughout the city. With over 2,300 acres of park land under our care, including 217 City parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, and more, we strive to provide recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Tree Removal and Parks and Recreation Commission hearings are currently being held online to ensure the safety of all participants. Additionally, we are excited to announce that the iconic Boston Swan Boats will be opening for the 2024 season at the Boston Public Garden lagoon, offering a unique and memorable experience for all.

With a network of parks, parkways, and waterways spanning 1,100 acres, including historic sites and urban wilds, Ross Playground offers a diverse range of outdoor activities and amenities for the community to enjoy. Our department also manages three active cemeteries and 16 burying grounds in Boston, preserving the city's rich history and heritage.

If you are interested in tree removal or have any concerns about our parks and recreational facilities, we encourage you to participate in our public hearings and voice your feedback. Together, we can continue to enhance and protect the natural beauty of Boston's green spaces for generations to come.
