About Rafferty Park
A Hidden Neighborhood Location
Found in Cambridge's Highlands neighborhood, Rafferty Park spans a modest 2.3 acres but packs in plenty of recreational options. You can find this community space at 68 Griswold Street, or take a shortcut through the Sancta Maria Nursing Facility parking lot from Concord Avenue if that's more convenient.
Kid-Friendly Play Area
Parents, you'll appreciate the thoughtfully designed playground here. The equipment is particularly suited for younger children, with safety-conscious wood fiber surfacing that helps cushion any tumbles or falls.
Sports and Open Spaces
Sports enthusiasts haven't been forgotten - the park features a tennis and basketball court for those looking to get active. There's also an open field area that's well-suited for casual games, picnics, or just stretching out with a good book.
Planning an event? Make a reservation at this park
The generous open space offers a peaceful break from city life, especially nice given its proximity to Fresh Pond Reservation.
Visiting Information
The park follows seasonal hours - it's open from dawn to dusk year-round, with extended summer hours until 10:00 p.m. from April 1st through October 31st.
One thing to note before your visit: there's no water fountain on site, so you might want to bring your own refreshments, especially on warmer days.
Own a local business? Promote it right here
While Rafferty Park might not be the most prominent green space in Cambridge, its somewhat hidden location makes it a peaceful retreat for locals in the know.
