Pocket Parks
Cambridge pocket parks are small parks under one acre, with trees, plantings, and places to sit. These parks offer opportunities for relaxation and respite, rather than active recreation.

The Cambridge Plant & Garden Club, in cooperation with the City of Cambridge, developed Discover Cambridge Pocket Parks, a report highlighting several of these spaces. This map identifies locations highlighted in this report.
