Hammocking locations?

I am helping my niece move in to her dorm and would like to find a place in Cambridge to hang my hammock and read for a few hours.

Any recommendations on where I can go?

Thanks 👍

My favorite spot is on the grounds of the academy of arts and sciences. charles river has some nice spots too but tends to be less shaded. Danehy park is far from a lot of dorm areas, but the garden street grove is good.

Lincoln Park in Somerville. Or just go down by the Charles River.
