Francias A. Ryan Memorial Wading Pool in Boston

Amazing. Renovated. Much more pool space. Every thing updated. Parking is tight, but you can park on the side streets. But this wading pool is beautiful

We love this splash pad/wading pool. It’s a great alternative to the public pools and beaches. Especially for young kids. They’ve upgraded the entire space and doubled the pool size. There are more seating areas and now, four lifeguards at all times. They have added two brand new rinse stations and ask everyone to rinse off before entering the pool which is reassuring. I’m happy they listened to the community and improved the pool instead of removing it. The bathrooms are the next area in need of improvement and hopefully they do that soon.

The splash pad/pool has been completely redone. A lot more pool space now. It’s probably 2-3x bigger. And completely surrounded by rubber anti-slip ground padding. The only downside is they ate into all their available space so the other water elements are now all in the pool, which I feel like makes them less fun. I liked the variety they had before that was outside of the pool. Though to be fair, it’s probably safer now without water elements on hard cement. The water is at most 2 feet deep. They have a nice zero entry side as well as a specific accessible entrance ramp and railings into the pool. They have 4 lifeguards on duty. There are also bathrooms and playgrounds adjacent to the pool. Plenty of benches and shade cover for those benches. Completely fenced in. They have outside showers to rinse off and a water fountain for drinking.

Newly renovated pool! The kids love it ! Just wish a section was made for the toddlers!

This is a great place to take toddlers they have a FREE Pool and splash area as well as two nice playgrounds with a bunch of swings . And a basketball and tennis court . I'm definitely taking my kids back here

i went here a lot as a kid and today i took my kids and they had a blast . they also have 3 playgrounds, a basketball court and a tennis court and it's all FREE

We only went to the splash pad but there is more… a playground, tennis courts…. It was surprisingly uncrowded. There are lifeguards. The wading pool is just that- shallow. Several sprayers, a small bucket dump, a submerged ledge for sitting in the water as you watch the little ones. There are also several benches with shade. Clean and well maintained.

This place was great!! It was a very hot day, perfect for small children. Even though, the water is shallow; Love that they have Lifeguards on duty!!!! The park is nice as well
