Reply to Best Playgrounds by Many-Perception-3945

Peter Gilmore Playground in Waltham has a dope-ass climbing structure. Its so cool that I’m surprised it’s legal in America. It’s a block off Moody St. If you’re not familiar with Moody St, it’s worth it for the restaurant scene.

Spy Pond Park in Arlington is good for really little dudes, but the playground itself isn’t worth a trip from the North Shore. Bonus: You can rent canoes and shit in the summer every now and then and paddle out to a little island. You’ll need to check a website or two to see when those are available.

You can rent a kayak from Paddle Boston. Launch from the Medford location, paddle upstream on the Mystic, there’s a little peninsula with a beach and facilities opposite the Medford Boat Club where you can disembark and picnic/swim. There is also a good playground there with things for toddlers to 5/6yos. Lots of green space for frisbees and soccer. There are also some pretty cool walking paths through the woods along the shore there. You eventually wind up on the dam that creates Mystic Lake.

Beaver Brook Reservation in Belmont has great hiking/picnic spots and a nice splash deck for the kids. It’s close to the Mighty Squirrel Brewery as well, so the adults can relax with food trucks and a beverage later. Mighty Squirrel is family/dog friendly with games and things for tweens and adults. Table tennis, cornhole, foosball…

EDIT: I can’t believe I forgot Connor’s Farm in Danvers. Jesus Christ. That place is the shizznit. Unbelievable playground. Bouncy thing. TRAIN RIDES! Holy shit. I love that place.

It’s really just SchoolSpring. You might be able to search town/district websites if you’re interested specific communities.

Reply to Skiing in MA by Professional-Fix6119

She’s right.

Skiing in MA mostly sucks. Berkshire East is a nice little hill that is very family friendly, but they suffer from low elevation. Jiminy Peak is another option out in Berkshire County, but they have the same issues. There are a couple spots close to Boston, but they have low elevation and enormous crowds of Jerries.

If you live here, you’re more likely to find a place in NH or VT that suits your needs.

I work in K-12, and I can tell you that we need teachers big time. I won’t say desperate…but a lot of staff fucked off after Covid. You’ll fit in just fine. Is there a reason that you’re going to Northampton in particular? Feel free to DM if you don’t want to share publicly.

Your partner will be able to find a teaching job. Does she have a masters degree? She will also need to pass the MTEL, but I don’t think she needs either BEFORE getting a job. I think you have three years to finish both. Oh, and welcome!

Are you in K-12? I am. I thought going remote was bad, but it’s the post-Covid narcissism everyone has that’s really bothering me. We lost the sense of belonging to a community during Covid, and I’m not sure how we get it back.
