Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect. We have reviewed the information you provided our staff and will be investigating this issue further.

This park has no irrigation system, and no water supply is available at all. The current drought has caused the grass to go dormant and will remain that way until the drought ends. The ant hills cannot be treated with pesticide due to Mass Laws governing use of these products in public parks, especially those parks used for recess by schools and day-care programs such as this park is.
