Cambridge Common is a historic public park near Harvard Square. Covering about 16 acres, the park features wide walking paths, a playground, open green spaces, and shaded areas, making it a favorite among locals and visitors. Monuments like the Revolutionary War memorial and the Civil War cannons highlight its rich past, which also include a marker for the site where George Washington took command of the Continental Army in 1775 during the American Revolution.

Beautiful park (with playground for kids) in the heart of Cambridge

Cambridge Common, dating back to 1631, holds profound historical significance as a site for military drills during the American Revolution. It served as George Washington's headquarters in 1775 and continues to be a vibrant public space, bridging the past and present in Cambridge. Perfectly ideal for a fall ride or walk under beautiful, colorful, foliage.

Not particularly big, but a very nice park and often very busy. All kinds of events are held here, including rides on a "swan". But above all, the place has great historical significance for the War of Independence. There is also something like a tourist information center here.
