Secret Rooftop Garden in Kendall Square (with Free Pickleball & Equipment)

What to expect:
Escape the hustle and bustle and discover this hidden garden oasis right atop Kendall Square.

Whether you're chasing shade on a summer afternoon or looking for a fun new spot for the kids to explore, this rooftop gem offers it all—from leafy raised beds overflowing with herbs and squash, to playground‑worthy pickleball courts (complete with free gear available during park hours!)

Fun for everyone:

- Pickleball court—grab a paddle and play, first‑come, first‑serve

- Wednesday acoustic tunes courtesy of Club Passim from 12 PM–1 PM, June through September 2025

- Paint & Sip classes, movie nights, Beer Garden pop‑ups, cooking demos with Chef Joe Gatto—there’s always something creative or relaxing happening upstairs

- Morning harvests—local Green City Growers tends the veg beds with fresh offerings every Thursday, 10:15–11:15 AM

Why families love it:

Bright public art, shaded lounging nooks, open sky overhead—it’s the perfect urban retreat for lunches, playtime, or just a quiet moment.

The atmosphere feels like a private club… without the membership.
