This park is so lovely that I hesitate to leave a good review because I don't want it to get too busy.
If you have young kids, the focal point is the sand area (my 6 and 3-year-old call it The Sand Park). The sand is very soft and fine, in a pit area next to a covered picnic area. Many kids go barefoot and share sand toys brought by their parents. In the summer it has a raised "stream" that feeds into the sand area, but the kids still enjoy the stream structure in the off season too.
There is also a play area with a few bear statues and a tunnel, and another area with a stone climbing structure. Also of interest is paved paths including a natural history walk, with little tiles, and a wooded overlook.
I haven't seen the park in the summer, but I'm very excited. I'm sure it will be beautiful! Other features include a basketball court, a small parking lot with handicap access, and a restroom that is actually open (something you can't always count on in Medford) and attached running drinking fountains. There are two pavilions that are reservable.
