Where else can you find the site of a former farm, pickle factory and Revolution-era powder house all in one? And throw in a slide for good measure. This quiet park is an oasis in a densely populated city- full of grass, trees, stone walls, stone steps and a stone tower. The varied elevation makes it great fun for kids to explore the nooks and crannies of the park. They can try to find the tri-cornered hat, the sheep, the slide. And of course it's great for just sitting on a wall, a bench or the grass.

Grateful to have this little piece of greenery and quiet in the middle of Somerville. I saw people chilling and playing guitar on a bench, setting up for picnics and birthday parties, photoshoots. Love this park.

Such a beautiful park and the trees are so old and massive. I kept hugging them to test their size lol. Sure onlookers thought I was crazy lol.

It's nice and beautiful park to visit after long day of work or school.
