Gold Star Mothers Park Court Renovation

Gold Star Mothers Park court area

The City of Cambridge will be renovating the basketball court area at the Gold Star Mothers Park in East Cambridge. The site currently features a full-court basketball court, an additional half-court basketball court, and a standalone play element. The project will focus on the paved court area, and will consider opportunities for modest improvements such as trees and plantings along the path between the basketball court and Winter Street, and in the planted area north of the courts.
