Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, Ward 2 Alderman Maryann Heuston, and the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (OSPCD) invite all interested community members to the Lincoln Park Design Open House with our team of landscape architects from Weston Sampson/Spurr Associates. City staff and the Spurr team will present the park plans and review the construction schedule.

The park renovation will include an updated and expanded Argenziano schoolyard, a multi-purpose natural grass recreation field, and an updated ballfield, lighting and irrigation systems. The design will also include a 1.26 million gallon subsurface stormwater management system to reduce area flooding, and rain gardens that will help capture and reuse stormwater. Additional new park features will include pathways, skateboard and Parkour activity areas, adventure style playgrounds for all ages, a new water spray area, an Off-Leash Recreation Area for dogs, Community Gardens, seating platforms, and over 150 new trees. The Open House will be held at the Argenziano School Cafeteria, 290 Washington St., on Monday, Jan. 25, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. All are welcome to attend. Spanish and Portuguese interpreters will be available.  For more information, please contact Arn Franzen at 617-625-6600 ext. 2545, or AFranzen@somervillema.gov.
