    Very big park with an open field, soccer field, kids play area, and DCR Swimming pool facilities. Easy to access by walk or public transit or car.

    Foss park is great. Large big turf field. It has a side field as well. Great for open space and exercise. Bring your dog or cat.

    Love my little home park. The city can do so much more with it but it is still a vibe. During this hot summer, it’s the best place to have a little picnic. By the soccer court are most shadows so absolutely walk straight to there🤣. There are little seats behind the soccer court which are not bad with the trees and to be close to the sidewalk. I like these, they are far from the many people who come to Foss everyday. Okay, y’all stay safe and hydrated. xoxo 🤍

    Great park for doggy play. Didn't see sign regarding leash regulation but plenty of people and dogs playing off-leash.

    Great area for recreation in Somerville . The football field is amazing ( artificial grass ) . At the time i'm writing this review the pool area is going through renovation . There's a fenced dog area and also two tennis courts . I wish DCR had planned for at least one beach volleyball court with sand . Low cost and easy to maintain . That would be a huge success specially with huge brazilian community in Somerville .

    We travel with our dog, and it's always a challenge to find a place where she can "do her business." This park is lovely. There is a big fenced-in area for the dogs to play in. There are balls, Frisbees, & other dog toys. So far, everyone I've encountered there was welcoming and friendly. Most importantly, everyone has control over their dogs and pays attention to the environment.

    I went here for an outdoor concert! It was very pretty, and nice to meet up with friends for a safe outdoor event, but the noise from the highway was constant and loud.

    I had some lovely time with my daughter at the splash park. In Foss park you can find one of the bigger splash parks in Somerville and neighboring areas. Keep in mind that it can get quite busy. Also, if anyone from the city reads this, a little bit better maintenance at the playground would not hurt nobody.

    When there are no people,.I often practice basics of all Judo, Aikido, and Taichi / Kung Fu at this place. Somehow I enjoy to be here.

    This place would very attractive if it did not have men steadily migrating there flagging people down for daily cash work. They flagged md down in my work vehicle Maki g ne feel wierd.

    Great park & free pool for both older & young ones. They have a splash pad plenty of areas to have a lunch. New soccer field looks amazing! Playground for older & younger kids over all great park. It has changed a bit since I was a kid, but definitely 👍

    It's a lovely park but I've only been there through winter and can't speak to the pool and how crowded it might get when warm

    Lately there's a group of men standing around in the driveway on the Broadway side of the park. Once my wife picked me up there and as soon as she pulled up the group of men flocked up to the car, which was really frightening.

    Softball field is in rough shape. Rest of the park seemed ok

    Beautiful park but the worst place to watch your kids play sports. You have to watch from a distance behind a fence which is weirdly common in Somerville. I honestly hate seeing Somerville games on the schedule for this reason.

    Just took my nephew there yesterday very nice it had a smaller playground for the younger kids, a few feet away another playground beside it for the older kids! Parking was available on Broadway. Recommended!

    A couple play structures for kids of varying ages, sports fields, and a community pool. There is a small parking lot also
