A S. • August 4, 2016Nice place to have a picnic! The best place to park would be by the meters on the side of the street.

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.

Nate F. • August 26, 2014so many lilypads, not many frogs

Jeremy K. • September 2, 2011Check out their themed menus on Wednesdays. Tikki, tapas, Octoberfest, etc... It's awesome but often sells out pretty quickly

Manuel M. • September 21, 2018It's big! I came here for a walk to get some air. But I didn't expect the park to be so big. I love big parks. I had a chance to walk all along the exterior of the park as well as the interior.

Patrick H. • October 24, 2012This small park in Somerville is dog friendly, but there are no off-leash dog runs here to let your pooch run free.

AlohaKarina 🌺🌈🏝 • August 6, 2013They have tables so you can sit and eat while the kids play. Or bring over a picnic!

Rebecca M. • September 5, 2022No frills, no fuss. Just a quiet place (usually) to sit on a bench and decompress. Avoid in summer around lunchtime due to camp groups.
