Parks & Nature
If you have kids, they'll love this park. It has swings, a big playground with small slides, a small water play area, and lots of toys. There are chickens that roam around this park that make it interesting (but they can also make a mess!). It is very sunny, so not good on very hot days.

One of the bigger parks in the area. It has sections for both big- and little kids, with a water-play area. There is also a big lawn where the kids can run around. This park has full shade in parts of it all day so is good if you want to avoid the sun.

Good for toddlers. It is older than the other parks, and not as much a favorite, but a good option if you want to go to the nearest playground.

Drinks & Nightlife
The classic destination in Central Square. The restaurant has solid Middle Eastern food, there is a live music venue, and the bar is one of my favorite places.
