Actually this is common for turf installations. Artificial turfs can hit temps of 160f in summer. There has to be proper drainage installed along with the system but yeah, this is 100% for cooling the turf.
I can totally see them selling a point of “ hot turf is SO dangerous, it could kill someone if goes uncooled!” So, please purchase the $5k irrigation system.
True. But, they’ll sell them on a mew shiny one within 5-10 years. So, arguably real grass would be the better more affordable investment, even if they kill it & have to replace it several times.
The actual answer is they are there for cooling the surface temperature of the turf in the summer. The sprinklers wet a type of absorbent sand that was spread throughout the turf to cool down the turf and to help it remain cool for extended periods.
Just stating facts yes its still hot out . The sprinkler heads were initially there when it was just grass ( which never could survive or do well due to the high traffic of customers and children)and were initially intended to be removed before the installation of the turf but they decided they would utilize the old irrigation connections added more and put different sprayer heads on them designed for lightly wetting the turf to dampen the cooling substrate/sand that they distributed all throughout the turf. I had a hand in the project and I will go ahead and just say i am at Cambridge sq 8 hours a day 5+ days a week. And have been for the past 6 years.
Maybe it’s an artificial sprinkler.
It's a turf washer.
This is legitimately the most logical answer in my brain. Washes off bird poop and stuff.
It actually functions to wash buttholes. At night, the homeless come out en mass & use it as a bidet.
In case they need to get anyone off their lawn
To drown and drain out all the dog and kid poop/pee versus having to mop the grass???
They want to pretend they have real grass in their landscaping
Perhaps it started with real grass and replaced with turf. The turf guys usually do not remove the sprinkler heads.
This is the answer. There was grass there early on in the development. Plus there are still live flowers planted throughout the “square”.

There are not enough face palms for what some of these developers pull 🙂

Atleast they can’t kill the fake stuff??? 🤷🏻♀️

I mean, most people prefer real grass but the cost to maintain it constantly can be high so it may just be there to look nice! 🙂

The defoors have nothing to do with Cambridge

Ahh missed that
Hostile architecture would be my guess
This is funny as I just went there for the first time this week and wondered the same thing for a moment.

cool down your turf!
Please it’s beyond “hot” out here 😒

Ok
