Postcard. Caption on front: Savin Hill Playground, Dorchester, Mass.  Postmarked Sep 17, 1912 at Dorchester Center Station with one-cent stamp.  On verso: The Royal Blue card.

This seems to be the area known as McConnell Park looking south.  The 1910 atlas shows a row of connected bathhouses at the southern edge of the playground.
