Williams Park -- also known as Cedar St. Park -- is just what any park embedded in a highly populated neighborhood should be. This is a park that is fulfilling it's potential.
Located on the corner of Cedar and Dudley Streets in North Cambridge, Williams Park boasts a basketball court that's constantly in use, a rope playground for big kids, a fairly extensive 'toddler area,' and a play fountain during the summer. For a small park, it was packed: A group of mothers and their children were having an outdoor pizza party. Children of all ages were playing on the swings, playgrounds, and basketball court. On one of the many benches, a man was working on his laptop (apparently, the park also boasts free wi-fi), and I sat under a tree and soaked in the last of the evening sunshine.
This 'pocket park' is well connected with entrances on Cedar and Dudley as well as a path between a couple houses on Norris and leading straight to North Cambridge Catholic High School. Also, it's a well-known spot by fans of the web comic xkcd for an odd gathering last September.
