History
Nunziato Field Dog Park in Somerville, Massachusetts, is a unique stormwater management project thoughtfully integrated with a valuable community amenity.
Officially opened in 2018, the park’s creation stemmed from a recognized need for a dedicated off-leash space for dog owners within the Union Square neighborhood.
Recognizing the growing popularity of dog-friendly activities, a local initiative spearheaded the project, selecting a suitable site adjacent to the Nunziato property – a field providing ample space and accessible pathways.
The park’s design cleverly addresses flooding concerns by incorporating a 1.6 million-gallon underground stormwater storage tank with a pump station, alongside rain gardens.
This innovative approach manages stormwater runoff effectively, a key consideration in light of increased storm intensity due to climate change.
The park’s development represents a successful example of sustainable infrastructure and community benefit, offering residents a safe and engaging outdoor space for their canine companions.
Ongoing community engagement and future enhancements are planned to further solidify the park's role as a vital community asset.
