Somerville Junction Park

First designated in 2008, the park took on its current shape through a renovation that turned a neighboring parking lot into a plaza and lushly planted green space. Today, walking paths wind among shaded trees, an open lawn, and native plants that attract pollinators. Across from the main grounds, a separate seating platform looks straight over the rails—a nod to the 1920s depot era and an easy vantage point along the route between Cambridge and Boston.
