The park is wheelchair accessible with benches for seating and is located near a commuter rail and a bike path. It’s a reclaimed brownfield site, offering a calm nook for outdoor activities and dog watching in an urban setting. While it lacks extensive facilities, the park is cherished for its open field and peaceful atmosphere.

Nice little park, but people please pick up after your dogs!
Quiet little nook next to the railroad. Good place to watch dogs or people jogging by.
Great little park that I take my pup to daily. It’s a brownfield reclamation site, so good on Somerville for creating green space when it’s at a premium in this little gem of a city.
Fenced park without any facility. Plenty of benches and kids can roam around except at the edge of the park there is an active bike path.
It is situated at the former location of Somerville Junction and you can see commuter rail passby.
We call this the “secret park” because it’s pretty rarely full! Great for families and dogs. Dogs must be on a leash (it’s not fenced in). It is next to the commuter rail and construction, so it can be noisy at times, but it’s nice to be outside! It’s basically just a field with some benches, but in the pandemic, it feels like a luxury!
