Find an Outdoor Athletic Court

Cambridge has outdoor athletic courts throughout the city where residents and visitors can enjoy tennis, pickleball, basketball, and other activities. See court locations below. You can also view the Public Parks, Playground, and Reservations Open Space Map, which shows the recreational resources available to the public at parks and open spaces in Cambridge. 

As part of the City's work around open space, we aim to promote healthy play and active recreation for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. We also aim to maximize the recreational use of open spaces, including outdoor athletic courts, for multi-generational and multi-purpose use.
