The City of Cambridge today announced updates to its Outdoor Dining Policy that extends expanded outdoor dining in Cambridge once the Commonwealth’s COVID-19 Relief Measures expire.

The Louis A. DePasquale playground was recently named a 2024 “Best of Boston” / Best Outdoor Play Space by Boston Magazine.

For those who wish to use gym equipment while breathing fresh air, these fitness facilities offer two outdoor gyms as alternatives to paid indoor gyms, and make working out accessible to people of all ages and abilities.

The following are highlights of the City's Outdoor Dining Policy issued on November 9, 2021 in effect for Years 2022 and 2023.

Install special outdoor wifi access points to offer free public wifi in the public space surrounding the Area IV, Frisoli, Gately, and Moore Youth Centers, as well as the Fresh Pond Golf Course and Cambridge Water Department.

Information about outdoor tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts in Cambridge.

Close out Winter Mix with an outdoor dance party featuring fun, music, and performances.

Add outdoor public Wi-Fi to Clement Morgan Park near Central Square. This proposal will further advance equitable internet access to Cambridge residents.

While we cannot predict when the state of emergency will be declared over by the Governor, the City of Cambridge will work with affected businesses to find a way to support and assist them in identifying mechanisms to legally maintain their outdoor area and keep it operational through the end of the calendar year.

This task force is working with City staff and a lighting consultant to evaluate existing standards, offer guidance for the creation of a new ordinance, propose new regulatory approaches if needed, and develop enforcement mechanism for outdoor lighting.
