Christ's Pieces

Christ's Pieces is a Victorian urban park in central Cambridge featuring interconnected pathways, tree-lined avenues, and planted beds throughout. The southeastern corner contains tennis courts and a bowling green for recreational use.

The land was originally used for growing cereal crops before the Cambridge Corporation purchased it from Jesus College in 1886. This purchase transformed the area into public green space for the community.

The park serves as a meeting point between the university quarter and the city center, where students and residents pass through and gather regularly. The open spaces and pathways see daily use from people across Cambridge.

The park has multiple pathways that provide direct walking routes between the Grafton Centre shopping area and downtown Cambridge. The main bus station is nearby, making access and navigation straightforward.

The park displays thousands of daffodils each year planted in petal-shaped beds along Emmanuel Road. This springtime flower display is a notable seasonal feature visitors often overlook.
