Somerville Parks Evaluation

 

Gale was hired by the City to evaluate each of its public parks, fields, playgrounds and open space parcels. Our services included the following:

  • Evaluated a total of 75 sites throughout the City each typically containing multiple venues ranging from multipurpose fields, baseball and softball fields, tennis and basketball courts, public gardens, memorials, and playgrounds
  • Developed a standard rating system to evaluate each component for general appearance, accessibility, safety, condition of fields and courts, dimensional adequacy and condition of play structures
  • Final deliverable was a searchable database of inventory and ratings for each site for the City to use when prioritizing park improvement projects
