This busy public space is shared and used by families with young children, high school- and college-aged students, the elderly, and citizens of all ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds. It’s a place where all of these people come to gather under the Park’s beautiful silver maples, sugar maples, and, in Winthrop Park’s center, the giant pin oak. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/t/5f63680802bc4a6aa0beeb2c/1600354112417/IMG_0041.jpeg Home - Our Mission The mission of the Winthrop Park Trust is to protect, preserve, and maintain Cambridge’s historic Winthrop Park for the benefit of the entire Cambridge community. The Winthrop Park Trust works with a variety of groups to keep the park clean and safe for current and future generations to enjoy. The lights seen on the oak tree located at the center of Winthrop Park were installed in part by donations from the Winthrop Park Trust. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f66660084df667bd7d472ff/5f66663fd45f3070899c1c1d/1600551713080/DSCF3576+1.jpeg Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f96e5527d86112589b0078a/5f96e56ba7e22f20ead53568/1603724668908/IMG_1860+%281%29.jpeg Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f66660084df667bd7d472ff/5f666629d78cc314d2fccc5f/1600546371636/IMG_1782.jpeg Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f96e5527d86112589b0078a/5f96e58e392ac65160274f3d/1603724716102/DSCF4599.jpeg Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f66660084df667bd7d472ff/5f6666208975d6731c39bb04/1600546392585/DSCF4191.jpeg Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f96e5527d86112589b0078a/5f96e5bcd662ce6eb9f37308/1603724747549/IMG_1880.jpeg Home https://www.winthropparktrust.org/news daily 0.75 2021-03-15 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f63be1e7b76685d6cf4215b/5f6ca6c5d35f5d2015f09c97/1600956111903/695679-0000.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd0901d920f5afaf83df9/1615843472616/0001.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f63be1e7b76685d6cf4215b/5f6ca6e252e7fc429033f447/1600956141448/695679-0001.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f984899b7907e07fde73558/5f9849693485cd6a14cb332f/1615843002899/Response+letter+to+Cookies%2C+10.27.20-1.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd08fbf2fab1a01b50630/1615843471983/0002.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f63be1e7b76685d6cf4215b/5f6ca72807f62f340ec32479/1600956210492/695679-0002.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f984899b7907e07fde73558/5f984976c747c36aafdd1340/1615843002910/Response+letter+to+Cookies%2C+10.27.20-2.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd08d50c95c098e2e7616/1615843469678/0003.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f63be1e7b76685d6cf4215b/5f6ca73b7a3afe27eb58b698/1600956232296/695679-0003.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd08f3d644f4b6139b68c/1615843471968/0004.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f63be1e7b76685d6cf4215b/5f6ca7515bad7b266dd18b98/1600956260359/695679-0004.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd0913c000a7371c46bf1/1615843473125/0005.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f63be1e7b76685d6cf4215b/5f6ca76e7e231e1b0629f0c8/1600956285071/695679-0005.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd08fa84d2d58ef80d48f/1615843471970/0006.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f63be1e7b76685d6cf4215b/5f9b2d3beca5e6188d279532/1604005186438/Coalition+Letter+on+Cannabis+Shop+at+57+JFK%2C+Signed+9.24.20+with+media+contact-0006.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd090315a1368988afe2d/1615843472633/0007.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f63be1e7b76685d6cf4215b/5f6ca79824b1192d505ac800/1600956318157/695679-0007.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd08f646d433ca530505c/1615843471979/0008.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/5f63be1e7b76685d6cf4215b/5f6ca7a5d35f5d2015f0c4f6/1600956336596/695679-0008.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd08f0ea19029b38a01ca/1615843471969/0009.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd08f3c6e665cf8e6b0ea/1615843471968/0010.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd08fc911d93e451e7793/1615843472015/0011.jpg News https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/604fceba44fadf72f641cf7c/604fd09050c95c098e2e764b/1615843472640/0012.jpg News https://www.winthropparktrust.org/history daily 0.75 2020-09-27 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/t/5f6789b184df667bd7ec478d/1600699446889/DSCF3875.jpeg History - History of Winthrop Park Winthrop Park’s history traces back to 1635 when this spot served as the first marketplace and a focal point for “Newtowne”, the original name of the city that would ultimately be called Cambridge. As such, the Newtowne marketplace pre-dates even the founding of Harvard University and Boston Common. Winthrop Park was dedicated as a public park in 1834 and was likely named after Professor John Winthrop, an eminent mathematician and astronomer who lived nearby during the 18th century. The Park is one of the oldest parks of its kind in the entire country. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f6360434e375b3d5f4c41b7/t/5f6789e4b20b912679976155/1600621139501/DSCF4230.jpeg History - A Part of Cambridge History In the mid-1890s, the firm of prominent architect Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of Boston’s Emerald Necklace chain of parks and New York City’s Central Park, further developed Winthrop Park. In the 1980s, the city of Cambridge, alongside local Harvard Square business owners and the Cambridge Plant and Garden Club, helped to revitalize Winthrop Park, planting new trees, installing a large granite marker, and restoring the post and rail fence and the diagonal paths that remain in Winthrop Park today.
