Jesus Green

Jesus Green is a public park in central Cambridge that spans between the River Cam and Victoria Avenue. The grounds feature long avenues of London Plane and horse chestnut trees, along with grass tennis courts, a skate park, public toilets, and designated barbecue areas.

The site developed from the division of common grazing lands that were used for pasture over many centuries. The construction of Victoria Avenue in 1890 separated it from Midsummer Common and shaped its current boundaries.

The space serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors spend time outdoors together throughout the year. People use it for recreation, social events, and everyday leisure activities that form part of Cambridge's community life.

The open layout makes it easy to find space for relaxation and various activities regardless of how many people are visiting. Facilities like refreshment kiosks and public toilets are available, ensuring comfort during your time here.

The park contains an open-air swimming pool that is among the longest in Europe, located along the northern edge near the river. This facility draws swimmers throughout the year, with peak use during warmer months.
