The newest addition to East Cambridge, Rogers Street Park opens next Tuesday, August 27, with a party starting at 4:00pm. Located on Rogers St. between Second and Third, the new two-acre park isn’t completed yet, but the green space is open to the public now, and amenities will continue to be added in the near future. Tuesday’s event will include food, drink, and entertainment, all free of charge.

The park itself is the product of negotiations between the City and a developer, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, and a testament to what can happen when the private and public sectors pull together. To RSVP for this event, please e-mail the planners at RogersStreetParkParty [AT] Gmail [DOT] com.
