Peters Park
A South End recreation park on Shawmut Avenue.
Peters Park is a South End public recreation destination at 230 Shawmut Avenue. Boston’s facility directory lists basketball and tennis facilities, an athletic field, a dog park and a playground among its amenities.
The park adds active recreation to a neighborhood also known for Victorian rowhouses and smaller public squares. Its sports and play areas serve a different purpose from the ornamental setting of some historic squares. The city’s park directory is the reference for the named facilities, alongside current notices for individual activities.
