Central Park Launch: 23rd August
At the heart of the Darwin Green development, the Central Park is a space that residents have long been waiting to explore. At last, it will officially open on Saturday, 23rd August 2025, and we’re celebrating with a launch event! Come and join us to explore Cambridge’s newest park. Everyone is welcome!
Where and when?
The Central Park launch event will take place on Saturday, 23rd August from 1 pm to 5 pm in Darwin Green, Cambridge, in the Central Park area, next to the sports pavilion.
What will open?
The tennis courts, football and cricket pitches will open.
The sports pavilion will not open just yet, although its restrooms will be accessible during the launch event.
It is unclear to the author of this post whether the north-east “park” area with the trees and the pond will be open. We’ll find out on the day!
What will happen?
Bring your picnic blanket and enjoy the park with friends, family, and neighbours. Highlights include:
- Ribbon cutting by the Mayor at 1:15 pm
- Free ice cream (although with limited availability) from Scoops of Cambridge dessert truck, offered by the developer (Barratt Redrow)
- Refreshments and food for purchase. Manna Seoul’s foodtruck is expected, and possibly others
- Sports coaching sessions from 1 pm to 3 pm, including football and tennis
- A live music band, Soul Front, will perform
- A free bouncy castle will be available for children
- Free face painting
- Other stalls (commercial or community) may be present, but are still to be confirmed.
