Petersen Splash Pad at Watson Park

About this splash pad

Petersen Splash Pad at Watson Park is one of the larger splash pads in the Braintree, Massachusetts area, fenced in and free for Braintree residents. The enclosure is genuinely handy for toddlers. Staff at the entrance enforce a no bags or drinks policy, so arrive ready for that. Benches are all in direct sun, so bring your own chair if shade matters to you. No changing facilities inside, just port-a-potties, which reviewers with babies flag as a real inconvenience. A playground sits right alongside for drying-off time, and an ice cream truck regularly turns up. A short path leads to a beach nearby.
