Great view, new equipment. There aren't any tables, just benches.

Daycare Park

Three different daycares congregate here every single weekday morning. It's a great place to hang out with your kid. Local people bring their old toys here and drop them off, so it is full of old plastic wagons, scooters, toy gas pumps, playhouses, annd one very large sdandbox tugboat. The park was also renovated this year. One of the coolest things about this park is that the flowering trees attract honey bees from a local hive. They're gentle honey bees. I've never seen a kid gett stung, thought they run through the water puddle where the bees congregate to drink. Excellent climbing trees!

This is a really great park, It's big, with a playground and hills and a field. There's even a sprinkler. Every summer they have a free festival with free kiddie carnival rides and free hot dogs. There's a little marsh, reminding us that Cambridge is really just a big filled-in swamp, underneath the swank. There's a wifi connection near the playground equipment, where there are also picnic tables. There's spotty wifi up in the field area. It's just someone's liksys, so it might not be on all the time. There's a tiny parking lot. Great place for a birthday party.

Cedar Street Park, aka Reverand Thomas J. Williams Park

2006-07-06 18:53:58.824822+00:00

This is a really well-designed park. The little kids' area is fenced and only has one exit, which has a nice table strategically situated right in front of it, where you can sit and work and stand guard at the same time. The larger park also has only one exit to watch, really. There is a back exit, but it's far away from the playground equipment and not very appealing to the kids. There's a good climbing structure, and water play in the summer. There are almost always kids here, even very early in the morning. Another great thing about this park is that dogs are allowed and tolerated off leash when the park isn't crowded. There are poop-pick-up bags in the park and an area where you can throw a ball or stick. Great park, great internet connection.

There are lots of networks to choose from, but no picnic tables or tables of any kind, so the word laptop has to be taken literally. There's a nice play structure, a baseball field, plenty of shade, and a little kids' area. Also, sand! It's dog-friendly and there's room for flying kites and playing frisbee.
