I first fell in love with Cambridge's parks on a truck route I drove in my teens. After leaving the South Cambridge Zellers store on a hot summer day I looked on my map for the first park northbound and found Soper, where I could eat my lunch in some shade. I was so impressed by all the activity, picnics, tennis games, jogging, fishing and swimming in the creek, that ten years later, after school, I moved here onto the edge of the park, and have been lucky to call it home ever since.
Now my wife and I spend many summer afternoons in the park, reading, knitting, sketching, playing music, and getting to know our neighbours. It is only one of almost a hundred parks and parkettes in our great city. I heartily recommend taking a couple of lawn chairs out to your nearest park and watching the sun inch across the sky. It might seem a little boring at first, but it'll end up being a day to remember.
