Sacramento Field
The City of Cambridge is planning a comprehensive renovation of Sacramento Field.
Pollinator Garden
Pollinator gardens are gardens specifically for native plant species that provide pollinator resources for local wildlife. This project will design and plant a pollinator garden within a city park to attract and nourish native pollinators!
Traffic Garden
A Dutch Traffic Garden, called “Safety School” in the U.S., is a permanent park for children to learn transportation etiquette by role playing. Kids take turns biking, walking, and driving a miniature streetscape in a safe environment.
Science of Public Safety Touch-A-Truck Event
The event will feature vehicles and interactive exhibits from Cambridge Police, Fire, Public Works, Animal Control, Emergency Communications, and the Park Rangers, along with our partners from the Massachusetts Environmental Police, Middlesex Sheriff’s Office, and Professional Ambulance Service.
Leprechaun-O
Join Navigation Games for another exciting orienteering event, open to all ages! Your team will use a special map to find checkpoints around the park - but stay on your toes! Tricky leprechauns will be moving check points as you go!
Drinking Water Across More Parks
Install new water fountain/bottle-fillers at up to 10 parks that lack drinking water fixtures. This will ensure that more residents can enjoy free, clean, drinking water at their local park, no matter which neighborhood they call home.
Tour Public Art
Walk around any neighborhood in Cambridge, and you're sure to come across something surprising: a painting on the side of a building, a sculpture in a park, a patterned walkway. Cambridge holds the largest contemporary public art collection in Massachusetts.
Cambridge Common
Cambridge Common is a 16 acre park, located outside of Harvard Square and surrounded by Massachusetts Avenue, Garden Street and Waterhouse Street. The Common has a long and colorful history, and is an important local resource as well as a tourist attraction.
CloudHouse
CloudHouse is a temporary pavilion that provides shade and seating in an active recreational area to reduce the impacts of extreme heat. The pavilion provides flexible seating and an open form that invites people to socialize, rest, and enjoy a favorite neighborhood park!
