# these pics belong to the Danehy Park festival:i cannot believe everything was free. This was top of the line Carnival / Festival / Fair even in regards to if you had to pay. The feelings you got when you walk through and so the Patriotic fireman engines and with the crane with the American flag just made you feel so proud to be part of America but Cambridge. They had so many rides,face painting, huge kite flying area ,amazing and friendly Mexican singers. Way too much to mention and that I didn't get there earlier and I didn't know about this previous years. Thank you so much for those responsible for making this happen for us to enjoy connecting and enjoying such an amazing experience without profiting. It's amazing to me and I'm very grateful to be born and raised in North Cambridge

We visited the park to check out a Miyawaki pocket forest (see photo) planted Sept. 2021. That was about eight months ago and it doesn't look like much yet, but it was interesting to see the diversity and density of plants. Unfortunately there is no signage; an informational display would be helpful and could generate community interest in the effort. I enjoyed seeing a number of birds flying around the wetlands. The park is very active in early evening with people walking, jogging, picnicking, and using the athletic fields. The park's limited entrances make it less pedestrian friendly, so it's a long indirect walk to reach it from Alewife Station, for example.

Danehy Park gives you the space and tranquility in your neighborhood. Also, it is good place for running and jogging especially if it rainy as you can run around the paved soccer field. Many sports events organized in the multiple fields in the park. The circle is about 2.5 miles. In the fall, Danehy Park turn to colorfull portrait. Also, Danehy provides grills and benches for picnic.

I was there Opening Day for Danehy Park & it’s been a Green Oasis in the middle of a city. Multiple soccer, softball, baseball, football & even a turf football field at the top of the park. Playground (with small water park in the summer), dog park, walking/jogging paths, work out station & plenty of benches to watch the variety of games and/or people watch! Well maintained. 👍🏼

The park is filled with multiple grounds set for different games and occasions. It has a decent size parking lot, a running track, Soccer field and a park for kids. This place really lights up in summer with lots of people and fun activities. It would really recommend it to family who want to spend some time and enjoy some outdoor games

This park is massive! The parking was quite full, and I thought maybe there was an event and that was why. It was Cambridge Jazz Festival! How fun!!! There were teams playing soccer and people walking a track and kids playing. There’s also two enclosed dog parks for dogs to safely be off leash! Seems like a really chill place!
