Old Morse Park

Tucked away in Cambridgeport is a little park with a big story. Old Morse Park, also known as David Nunes Park, isn’t just a playground. It’s a testament to community spirit and a symbol of renewal. Old Morse Park underwent a major renovation back in 2012, along with Alberico Park and Fulmore Park. The city decided to tackle all three parks at once, transforming the neighborhood’s open spaces. The project wasn’t without its challenges. Construction took longer than expected, with delays in equipment deliveries and the complexities of installing water features like that impressive geyser. Imagine the excitement on September 28, 2013, when the community finally celebrated the grand reopening. Music filled the air, faces were painted, and the laughter of children echoed through the newly designed play areas. Old Morse Park emerged with a unique climbing structure made of thick black rubber pieces, creating wobbly platforms and a thrilling slide. And don’t forget the unusual seesaw, a combination of swing and seesaw guaranteed to bring out the kid in everyone. For those who prefer a different kind of play, there’s a basketball court and ping pong tables. Evenings at Old Morse Park often end with a visit to the nearby Cambridge Pizza. The aroma of freshly baked pizza wafts through the air, tempting families to enjoy a slice after a fun-filled day. Old Morse Park is more than just slides and swings. It’s a place where memories are made, laughter rings out, and the community comes together.
