Hancock Street Park

Hancock Street Park, Between Mass. Ave and Harvard Street
     Cooper Square Park, also known as Hancock Street Park, is like the Gucci of parks.  Okay, maybe not Gucci- but it's really nice.  Hancock is small enough that- depending on the capability of your child, you can sit on a bench eating their snack and just watch them.
     In the summer- this park is absolutely perfect as it has tons of shade and plenty of sprinklers at various heights.  My favorite thing here waaas a sunken sandbox (until they filled it in- so now children can escape) complete of course with abandoned toys.  Although kids can now get out of the sandbox on their own- it's still a great feature.
     I have heard rumors of some serious snobbery at this park but haven't encountered it as of yet.  Only nice folks so far.
     For some reason- I noticed a ton of bees here last summer, so even though the sprinklers deter it- wear shoes.  No shoes no shirt no bee protection.
