This past September marked the 35th anniversary of Danehy Park. And what better way to celebrate this cornerstone of the Cambridge community than to meet the team that keeps Danehy Park thriving?

Danehy Park is the site of a former landfill (see History section for more details). Since the landfill was capped in 1990, the management of the site is controlled by permitting through the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), Division of Solid Waste.  The goal is to ensure that the site is managed in a safe manner and that landfill gases are properly managed and allowed to vent safely.  To that end, the City contracts with CDM Smith to conduct quarterly monitoring, inspect the methane trench (which is the stone-filled trench around the perimeter of the park) annually, and develop an annual environmental monitoring report that is submitted to MassDEP. 

Youth soccer teams will be playing on the Maher Park playing field.

Cambridge is not ready to move on from the World Cup fever. To keep the momentum going, the City of Cambridge, Harvard Square Business Association and local businesses are partnering to host an outdoor screening of Copa 71, an inspiring documentary celebrating the trailblazing women of the 1971 Women’s World Cup. Join us for a fun community night with family-friendly activities beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 30 on Bow Street between DeWolfe and Plympton Street. The movie will begin at 8 p.m.

As we celebrate the season, let's work together to keep the holidays safe
