(<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CI9fGHXMhxc/">Photo</a> by @friends_of_titus_sparrow_park on Instagram) 12) <a href="https://joyraft.com/event/sledding-at-cambridge-s-timothy-j-toomey-jr-park-cambridge-1030505">Cambridge's Timothy J. Toomey, Jr. Park</a> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/Fstj2gs.jpeg"> Where: Kendall Sq, Cambridge Pro tip: That hill isn’t random—urban planners intentionally designed it as part of the park’s landscape so it doubles as a dedicated sledding hill when winter rolls in ❄️🛷
