About this adventure
Spread across 64 rolling historic acres in Brookline, Larz Anderson Park is legendary for holding what many consider the single best sledding hill in Greater Boston. When fresh powder falls, children and families flock to the vast natural bowl slope beside the neoclassical temple, where thrilling descents are matched by postcard-worthy views of the Boston skyline. At the top of the park, the open-air Jack Kirrane Ice Skating Rink provides public outdoor skating sessions on a refrigerated rink sheltered by an overhead roof structure. Paved pathways make walking between the sledding slope, playground, and pond effortless with strollers.
