Connors Memorial Pool

Great new(ish) pool open to the community.  Perfect for a family visit, the pool starts off with a  shallow- walk-in end and gradually gets deeper, with a pretty visible divide.  There are fountains and water jets for kids to play in and locker rooms for men and women.  Life-guards are attentive and rule-enforcing.  Great summer find!  


The address is 330 River Street in Waltham, it is open 7 days a week from 11am- 7 pm.

Chikki Plaza

Chikki Plaza is an English-Spanish bilingual playspace located in Cummings Park in Woburn (behind BankAmerica). Each weekday they run an activity for children in Spanish.  The clean playspace is for children from 1-5 with a separate snack/birthday party area upstairs.  The space is ideal for more low-key, indoor play.  It's on the smaller side, so high energy play could be tricky.  The play equipment appears to be new and is organized.  They provide coffee for parents and little complimentary snacks for children.
