This is an amazing park outside the Cambridge Public Library and Cambridge Rindge and Latin, I absolutely love this park.

It's a beautiful space with plenty of shade in the hot days to sit under and dog hours in the morning.

This is a very nice park with a playground nearby. It gets busy on summer weekends but you can usually find a a good space. Not too many trees for shade though so remember to bring some SPF!

Small park near Harvard square (10 min). Pretty good for those visiting MIT and Harvard to stop by and give the kids some playground time. Somewhat small but has all the toddler could need. Locked gate and far enough from the street. Also next to the Cambridge public library.

Nice park outside the Cambridge Public Library. There's a small playground for small kids and open grass spaces if you want to lie about and read a book. No fields if you want to play soccer or ultimate, but they do have 3 tennis courts. The nets aren't in the greatest shape though. 2 nets too high and 1 too low.
