    I love taking the little ones in my life to Albion Park. It's the best that Somerville has to offer- swings, slides, a gated little-kid play structure, a bigger kid play area, a GREAT set of sprinklers, some grass to run around on, a basketball court, and benches to sit on. Because it's in a more residential area than the Hodgins-Curtin Park, fewer preschools and summer camps come to take it over, although it does happen from time to time.

    What a nifty oasis! Parents of toddlers, take note. Tucked a block or three off Highland, this wee pahk pairs a full size basketball court-turned-soccer field (check the pics - it's a hybrid) with a plateau perfect for sunbathers/outdoor yogis, a full jungle gym, and a seasonal soft-top fountain park. Because kids are brats sometimes, so watch them get doused with city water. Definitely a fun and funky vibe, and those krazy sk8r bois are kept off the cascading cement steps with grind guards and a steady stream of nannies entertaining tykes. This solid ground may be a little daunting for the ol' run&play, so infants are best kept under close supervision. Somerville is omnipresent, with artsy seesaws and a hippie-dippie that'll Dr. Seussify your trip to the park. It's surreal, and totally enthralling. And I'm an adult! Back to your kids - they'll dig it.

Our almost 3-yo could do most things, but I think even a kid in the low-elementary grades would have a good amount of fun here. We found 2-hour parking along the side of the Cambridge Common; most of the rest was resident only. When we visited in the summer, there was a porta-pottie nearby.

    Review is for the dog park only. Unfortunately, despite having a fenced in resource where dogs are…read moreallowed to fly off leash, many people use the baseball field adjacent to this field to run their dogs. This is especially dangerous for someone who hopes to walk safely with a dog reactive dog on a leash in this general area. Additionally, like any neighborhood dog park, there seems to be a community of people who frequent this one regularly, at least before work hours. One, with a larger breed dog, was completely indifferent when his dog escalated playtime with my dog and tried to bite him, definitely scaring him. Given that I have encountered dogs that are not necessarily well behaved coupled with the fact that this area is often full of awful leash dogs running where they should not be (recently, I had been going there again because there is a fence limiting pedestrian traffic on the fields, possibly due to some landscaping work). I could not report this incident animal control because my dog was not bitten/had his skin broken, but the rude face the other owner made to me and his dismissive nature of my concern was alarming. There are absolutely some dog parks people go to to just ignore their dogs when they have too much energy, and unfortunately this, like the one on Putnam Street, is becoming that.

Across from the kiddie playground, there is a second playground for older kids (simple obstacle course kind). When you look across the field, you will find a fantastic play area with long slides and ninja type obstacle course. I want to be a kid again! I think I saw about 20 parking spaces? I also saw a mini splash pad/water area but it was not turned on when I was there. Basketball court is available too.
