Toddler-Friendly Spaces in (and near) Jamaica Plain

Jamaica Plain (JP) is known for its playground full of well-loved toys. Other toddler-friendly spaces include the MSPCA (an animal shelter with animal-themed story times), the Arboretum (an outdoor tree museum great for nature walks), two libraries, and the Curtis Hall Community Center. Below is a sample schedule with toddler-friendly ideas.
