Explore Upgrades to Quincy Street Pocket Park at June 9 Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

All community members are invited to join a ribbon cutting ceremony for Quincy Street Park (14 Quincy St.) on Tuesday, June 9, at 2 p.m. The ribbon cutting celebrates modern updates to the almost 15-year-old park that will help it continue to serve as an oasis for its community.  

Somerville’s Parks and Urban Forestry Division (PSUF) worked with landscape architects to upgrade the park to better serve community needs - including replacing the park’s wooden boardwalk with a custom concrete path and removing three invasive maple trees to make way for native tree plantings. 

In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held Wednesday, June 10, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. 

Renovations funded by Somerville’s Community Preservation Act (CPA), which provides $7 million in funding each year to support open space, recreation, historic preservation, and affordable housing projects. To learn more, visit somervillema.gov/cpa.
