Accessibility at the event

Limited accessible parking is available onsite and on Roseview Road.  Accessible parking permits are required and attendees are encouraged to arrive early. There will be an accessible drop off area at the police road closure and volunteers will be available to assist those who cannot walk a distance as family/friends park their vehicle. 

Accessible seating is available near the stage and close to where the train is most likely to arrive.  Limited seating will be available for guests.  All guests in this seating area are asked to sit to ensure views are not obstructed for guests in wheelchairs. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early as accessible seating is limited. 

The bleachers onsite sit lower to the ground and are easier to access for those with disabilities. The bleachers are sponsored by Bleacher Rentals and the Accessibility and Diversity Division of the City of Cambridge. Seating is limited and attendees are encouraged to arrive early.

For those not comfortable with crowds or not able to come onsite to view the train, a great spot to view the train after it departs the Malcolm Street Train Station is at Dickson Park (30 Park Hill Road West). Many fabulous photos have been captured from this location.
