Caregivers of Somerville children who require a belt harness may contact Meg Koglin at [email protected] or by calling 311.

The new swings meet modern safety standards and third-party conformance testing. Designed for children ages 2 to 12, they include a hard harness and an additional belt harness option for younger users that requires adult supervision.

Projects like these require a ton of teamwork- thank you so much to Councilor Sait, Crowley Cottrell, and as always, our Public Space and Urban Forestry Department for helping make this park a reality. Go forth and enjoy!
