Sacramento Field

Sacramento Field is a 1.2-acre neighborhood park located off Sacramento Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nestled between Massachusetts Avenue and Oxford Street, this park serves as a welcoming green space for the Baldwin neighborhood and nearby community. Sacramento Field underwent significant renovations in 2017 and 2018, which enhanced its facilities and accessibility, making it more functional for diverse public use and nearby institutions such as the Baldwin School.

Historically, Sacramento Field has transformed from a reservoir used in industrial operations during the 19th century into a modern recreational area. The renovation efforts have preserved its role as a vital urban green space, accommodating both structured activities and casual recreation. The park includes a spacious field that can be used for various activities, a full basketball court, and a children's playground. The balance of open space and facilities ensures that Sacramento Field can host both individual and community gatherings while supporting sports, play, and relaxation.

Located adjacent to the Sacramento Street Community Garden, Sacramento Field complements the garden’s charm with its multi-use recreational offerings, creating a harmonious urban retreat. Its updates include improved fencing, underground electrical infrastructure, and enhanced pathways, symbolizing the City of Cambridge’s commitment to maintaining its urban parks. The park continues to be a cherished spot for residents, particularly those seeking a tranquil yet dynamic outdoor environment.
