It's especially good for toddlers, as it has a nice play area, a duck pond, lots of mature trees and squirrels, and in summer there are two paddling pools.

Not only: Parker's Piece has a special place in the history of modern football games, as it was here that the Cambridge Rules of 1848 were first put into practice. They were very influential in the creation of the modern rules of Association Football, drawn up in London by The Football Association in 1863. A plaque has been mounted at Parker's Piece bearing the following inscription: "Here on Parker's Piece, in the 1800s [sic], students established a common set of simple football rules emphasising skill above force, which forbade catching the ball and 'hacking'. These 'Cambridge Rules' became the defining influence on the 1863 Football Association rules." But also: Sir Jack Hobbs, second only to the Don in the list of five 'Wisden Cricketers of the Century', used to play on Parkers Piece. Apart from the sporting lore associated with the place, I also love the old gas lamp at the cross roads of the paths (erected in 1893, fact fans) which has become known as 'Reality Checkpoint' by the students. Apparently as it marks the point where the cosseted environment of the colleges ends and real life, embodied by the town proper (the life and grit of Mill Road is just opposite) begins.
