Located in the village of Newton Corner, Burr Playground is an excellent location for children to play in the shade of old trees, which line the recreation area. Aside from a playground, the park includes basketball and tennis courts as well as soccer and baseball fields. An obstacle course made of wooden logs and wires is located near the Park Street entrance.
Burr Playground is a short walk from the intersection of Tremont Street and Waverly Avenue, where the MBTA buses #52, #57, #193, #501 and #503 stop. The Newtonville MBTA Commuter Rail station (purple line, Framingham/Worcester line) is about a mile and a half from the park.
