A small Mid-Cambridge toddler playground at Maple and Marie Avenues, renovated in 2004 around an oversized-building-blocks theme with a castle centerpiece, best suited to early walkers through about age 3.
What to expect
Entry fee
Cambridge has no parking sticker program for its parks and no municipal swim beach; Fresh Pond is a drinking-water reservoir where swimming and wading are prohibited. No pass or permit required.
Dogs
Cambridge requires dogs to be leashed, on a leash no longer than six feet, whenever off the owner's premises and not under direct control in a designated off-leash area. That's the town-wide default; watch for posted signs here.
Hours
Cambridge parks and playgrounds are open dawn to dusk year round, with extended hours to 10:00 p.m. from April 1 through October 31. Posted hours at the entrance win if they differ.
