General MacArthur Square is a 0.2-acre (810 m2), V-shaped park in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, owned by the city.[1][2] The city's first 24-hour, freestanding public toilet was installed in the park in 2015.[3]

The Crimson's Norah Murphy described the park as "a glorified traffic island", featuring a statue of Charles Sumner by Anne Whitney.[4]
