In some ways, all of North Cambridge is a hidden treasure; we don’t get the attention that other Cambridge neighborhoods do, and that’s just fine. Within this neighborhood are places/stores/people that fly under the radar and make NoCa a great place to live.
Exhibit A: The dog park near Alewife. While possibly technically in Arlington, we now claim it as part of North Cambridge. If you have a dog, you can count on this facility to provide a safe place for your puppers to burn off energy and meet friends. If you don’t have a dog (possibly because your spouse refuses to let you live your dream), you can sit on the benches just outside the park and watch dogs of all sizes frolic about.
