Community Meeting for Rafferty Park Renovation
Please join us for a kickoff meeting for the Rafferty Park renovation project!
Wednesday, April 24, 2024
6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
Community Room at Finch Cambridge
(675 Concord Avenue, Cambridge)
During this first meeting, we hope we will learn from each other to shape a successful park and project.
At this meeting, we will:
- Introduce the project team
- Share a conversation about community engagement
- Give an overview of the project, including project schedule and City parks goals
- Review early site analysis from the project team
- Host a series of exercises to hear your ideas for the park!
We encourage you to join us! We are excited to meet you in person, and think this is a great way to connect with and hear from neighbors!
Refreshments will be provided. Please note, on-site parking is not available.
Can't make it?
If you are not able to attend, a recording of the presentation and a follow-up survey will be available. We will also have virtual office hours available if you have any questions about the project.
Share Your Ideas and Experiences with Us!
We've launched the first survey for our project! The goal of this survey is to begin to understand who is using the park, how you are using it, what you like about it, and ideas for improvement.
