Fulmore Park
About Fulmore Park
The Little Park with the Roosters
Positioned in Cambridge's Cambridgeport neighborhood, Fulmore Park might be small (just 0.4 acres), but it packs quite a punch for families with young kids. This cozy spot is primarily designed with toddlers and preschoolers in mind, a good option if you've got little ones with energy to burn.
You might hear locals calling it "Rooster Park" - and for good reason! The park has some unexpected residents: chickens and a rooster that wander over from a neighboring property. These feathered friends have become something of a park trademark, but we should mention they tend to divide opinion among parkgoers.

Where the Fun Happens
The park naturally splits into two main sections. One area is dedicated to water and sand play, while the other offers a grassy space with a tree-centered climbing structure. One of the highlights here is definitely the sandbox - it's pretty impressive, coming complete with wooden blocks and planks (stored in a convenient shed) that let kids build and create to their heart's content.
When the weather warms up, the water pump table and sprinklers become the star attractions, offering some refreshing sensory play opportunities that kids absolutely love.
Practical Stuff to Know
Parents can breathe easy knowing the entire playground is securely fenced, giving children freedom to explore while staying safe. There are some nice shady spots throughout and a few picnic tables where you can enjoy lunch or a snack break.
A word of caution about those chickens - they're not shy, especially if you've got food! While some families find them charming and part of what makes this park special, others have had less enthusiastic experiences when trying to eat at the picnic areas.
The park is designed with ADA-compliant features, making it accessible for children of all abilities - something we really appreciate about this space.
What Fulmore Park lacks in size, it makes up for in thoughtful design. It offers a mix of open-ended play opportunities and more structured activities in this Cambridge neighborhood.
