Equally close is Raymond Park, which has a children’s playground, serves as an off-leash dog park (during certain hours), is a venue for frisbee playing, and which provides the home for Cambridge Family Microsoccer (soccer for kids aged 4-6), and provides practice fields for some of Cambridge Youth Soccer’s younger teams.
This is a “must-see” for tenants who are looking for a great single family home in the city that has few with great outdoor space on a quiet street.
