Suggestions for Park near Winter Hill, Somerville

Keri G. • February 23, 2012Gorgeous every time of year. The area by the Lexington Street Playground is prone to flooding after even the slightest storm, but let's just call it the Somerville Bayou and embrace it.

Lauren C. • January 12, 2018Great place for a relaxing walk! Love to take my dog here!!!!

AJ C. • March 23, 2012Such a great dog park. Cool dog owners. Good equipment and great space for the canine to burn some energy in.

Margaret !. • October 31, 2022In recent years they’ve fixed up and replanted the park and done some upkeep on the tower. Now it’s an even better spot for chilling with a book or a picnic on a sunny day.
