Cambridge Common

It's a good park. Could use a lot less grass and more native plants. Not something I would normally knock a park for, but 1: Cambridge knows better and can afford to make the switch and we 2: due to its shape and the paths through it, it has a lot of areas that are too small to be usable for, say, playing catch with a frisbee. These sections could easily become native plant gardens with no detriment to the usability of the rest of the park. In fact, it would absorb some of the omnipresent road noise really well.

Cool, clean with fresh air....Happy place, nature lovers, game place, smiles and laughters ....relaxing atmosphere. I just loved it.

Really beautiful park in Boston! It is truly beautiful! It is surrounded by the beautiful architecture of Harvard University. There is a really nice playground with a unique set up. It is non traditional in the respect that it is not set up like a normal playground.

We had a picnic in the park. It was really odd because there were homeless junkies just sleeping on a mattress in the park🤷‍♀️ there were also non looking homeless people just sleeping in the park...like oh I got tired let me just go to sleep in the grass😳. So weird. The history in the park was amazing! The statues and the stories they told were awesome! Great learning experience for the kids it Boston seriously needs to clean up their parks.

Beautiful public park for walking and recreation while also a remarkable tribute and historic site marking the heart of the American Revolution and where Washington first took command of the revolutionary army. Special bonus is the new monument for the African American soldiers who fought and died in the revolution. So many aspects of this part of American history have been overlooked and underrepresented and this was a touching part of the park.

Although it was cold we enjoyed our time here during golden hour. Plenty to do, a safe one entry/exit fence hedged in climbing hydrangeas, large sandbox and stroller friendly throughout. Looks like there's an awesome water table feature and small splash pad for in-season park going as well. We also noticed many birds.

This was a great little park in the middle of a bit of crazy. We parked along the side (25 cents for every 10 minutes with a 2 hour limit) tons of history and a pretty cool playground. Had a picnic under the tree that Washington took control of the army under during the Revolution and then walked over the Harvard and strolled around. Very neat, unplanned and unexpected stop on our New England trip.

Cambridge Common is a very historic and beautiful common to visit. It is plenty big with lots of walking space. The historical plaques and sites here are quite worth seeing!
