Review:
Located just outside the famous Harvard Square and bordering several parts of the prestigious Harvard University campus, the Cambridge Common covers more than 16 acres of outdoor recreational green space. The common is extremely popular with both local residents and tourists and provides a wonderful place to just sit on a bench and watch the world go by.
In addition, there are walking and cycling paths, a playing field and a large children’s playground as well as large lawn areas where children can run and play. Although there is no designated picnic area, many visitors come to the park to enjoy a picnic lunch under the shady trees.
