Pools and spray parks
Stay cool this summer at our spray parks and renovated pools! The spray parks are open to the public during the summer months, from June to September. The pool at Lepp Park, renovated in 2023, will open to Somerville residents in late June. The pool at Walck Park is under repair and scheduled to reopen in 2025. Note: we're still hiring lifeguards for the summer!
