John Winthrop Playground is a 1.56-acre park located next to Winthrop Elementary School. Renovated in 2024, the park features playgrounds for children ages 2–5 and 5–12, a splash pad, basketball courts, a tennis court, open lawn space, outdoor exercise stations, and plenty of seating and game tables.

A new multi-use scoreboard at the basketball courts and freshly painted court surfaces were also added in spring 2025!
