Somerville Parks and Recreation is proud to celebrate the power of girls and women in sports who build confidence, resilience, teamwork, and lifelong leadership skills. They remind us that when girls play, they don't just change the scoreboard, they change the future!

Here's to the girls that show up, take up space, and play like they belong-- because they do! Strong girls become unstoppable women!

Congratulations to Team Cristian-- our new Teen Volleyball League Champions!

Our Tot-Time classroom celebrated Valentine's Day with a lovely party full of exchanging sweet treats and hugs! Students focused on kindness, friendship, and showing appreciation for the special people in their lives by creating homemade valentines for their loved ones.
