What is it?

Enjoying parks and open spaces improves physical and mental wellbeing for all ages. That’s why the Mayor is challenging you to explore our city’s parks and open spaces all year round!

Taking part is easy!

#1

Pick up your Parks Pass at the Office of Food Access & Healthy Communities in the City Hall Annex, 50 Evergreen Ave, or download a copy here.

#2

Get moving to any park in Somerville! Every time you visit a Somerville park, write the name of the park in your pass. Visit as many as you can! To find your local parks, view the City’s park map and/or this interactive Google Map of Somerville parks, dog parks, and community gardens.
