  Granted it is not as spectacular as Boston Common but it does have a quaint feel to it and if you are there in the Fall with change of color on the leaves of the trees or when it's summer with the greenery, it's pleasant. There is playground equipment for children and benches for people to sit an relax you could take a picnic lunch or book to just relax for a while after spending time touring the town. At the nearby bus stop, at Massachusetts Ave, towards Harvard Square there is an area with large panels providing all this historical information concerning the area, including the park. It is worth reading. On separate trips we have read it, gaining information that we inevitably forgotten from the time before.

  I have been going to CC for a few years now. It has been a great go to place to meet up with friends after work or for a casual night with out of town guests. Love this place!

  If you like a construction site with bulldozers running and earth movers this is the place to see. Hobos hate and you may too. The only thing which operates is a playground which is fenced of.. Will be like that for another year or two..

  We go here to drink beer ( they have greater selection of fresh brew and bottled) watch sports on the TV and enjoy the black bean burgers-- the best I've ever had.

  This common has an amazing playground! There are standard features such as swings and slides, but there are also wooden structures for imaginative play, a box sledding hill, a conveyor belt and buckets for the sand area, and a rope climbing area. Though part of the park area is closed off for reconstruction of the soccer fields, there is still plenty to see and read about the Revolutionary War history of the area, including the marker noting where Washington took control of the army. This is definitely worth a visit, especially if you've got kids in need of running off some energy in a large, safe place.

  Not much to say about it since it's part of the Harvard decor. Just walk around, take pictures and enjoy the scenary.

  Pretty land and location, but what to do varies depending upon the season and if anything is scheduled to occur on the day that you are there. Mostly it is a pretty area to walk in with a very nice playground at one end.

  Actually, it's a very small area but it's charming. Get a sandwich at "Bon Pain" or "Otto's Pizza" right next door at Harvard Square, and come sit at one of the granite benches, across from Harvard Yard and the Harvard Law School. It's an unassuming park, once hosting Cambridge citizens' cows, (!) now planted at the center of town. Once you rest, go on to any of Harvard's museums or visit the Harvard Yard or any of the very chic shops in the Brattle Street area.

  It's a very small green space, but quite historical in our country's history! It's where George Washington took command of the troops.

  Cambridge is charming and historic. Nice shops, vintage architecture and some good restaurants. Nice stop on the way to Harvard.
