Parker Hill Playground

Parker Hilltop provides spectacular views of the city, ocean, and hills beyond. Neighbors can often be found sitting or playing frisbee in the grassy area below this site. Peter Parker married Sarah Ruggles, whose family owned large areas of land including most of what became known as Parker Hill (later renamed Mission Hill). Many of the older apple trees along Fisher Avenue and in an undeveloped area of the playground are probably descendents of the Parker family’s original trees.
