Please join us for our next community meeting for the Rafferty Park renovation project!

Tuesday, June 11, 2024 
6:00 PM to 7:30 PM 
Community Room at Finch Cambridge
(675 Concord Avenue, Cambridge)

At this meeting, the project team will:

  • Summarize feedback we’ve heard so far
  • Present design concepts based on themes and feedback heard during our outreach to date
  • Hold discussions to get your feedback about concepts shown
  • Provide updates on what to expect from the next phases of the project

What are design concepts?

Design concepts are initial ideas based on what we have heard so far from the community so far, the City's goals and guidelines, and the experience of the design team. We want to test different ideas to see what works best in the space of the park. At this stage, ideas are focused on the big picture and ask key questions such as:

  • What physical features are provided (benches, basketball court, slide, etc.)?
  • What programing is included (sports, play, gathering spot, etc.)?
  • What is the general feel/ambiance of the park (quiet, active, flexible, etc.)?
  • While there are still many details to figure out, the conceptual design phase is critical and sets the overall direction of what the future park looks like.

THIS IS WHY WE WANT YOU TO BE INVOLVED NOW!

We encourage you to join us and we look forward to your feedback!

Refreshments will be provided. Please note, on-site parking is not available.
