Boston, MA - Chinatown Neighborhood Center
The Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center (BCNC)
Conditions - This school consists of three levels all made of concrete. On the lower level there are stairs, walls, and long gradual handy-cap ramps. The concrete on this lower level is very dirty because it is right next to the street. The obstacles are good, but somewhat slippery. The second level has an open courtyard, some more concrete handi-ramps, and some concrete benches. The benches are placed well so that you can jump off them and vault up onto the ramps or vault from the ramps to land precisely on the benches. The third level has more of the same obstacles plus a padded playground.
Plod- We have not had any police troubles here yet, but this is a very high traffic area so be cautious. There is a sign that tell police to take notice of trespassers. If you go there when school is not in session you should be fine.
Supplies - We were able to use the water fountains and vending machines in the YMCA next door. Other than that there are many restaurants in the nearby area. Stefano Sub & Pizza in only a block away
Overall: This is one of the best spots we have found in downtown Boston. Although the conditions are a little hazardous on the ground level, the spot makes up for it in its overall size and number of obstacles.
Directions - Google Map Link
Also the spot is right at the New England Medical Center stop on the Orange Line of the T

I went to this school, haha, it's Josiah Quincy Elementary and it's amazing, really.
School ends at 3:15, but watch out for the little afterschool kids who usually go on the playground after school's out.
Great area, though. :D

Best time to go there is when school isn't in session at all, or on the weekends. Also, stay away from the apartments that are close to the walls of the place. Had one guy threaten to call the cops on us last time I was there
