COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION FOR Nunziato Park Water Fountains PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Somerville is looking to install two new water fountains at Nunziato Park, connecting to new water lines that were installed during the utility project in the streets abutting the park. One fountain will be located in the dog park area and the other will be adjacent to the field. The project will add access to drinking water, which is identified as a priority need for open space and recreation as well as climate resiliency. Nunziato field and the dog park are both actively used recreation spaces with high sun exposure. The addition of water fountains will help to cool the park and provide a more user- friendly environment. ELIGIBILITY Open Space/Recreation: This project would rehabilitate land for recreational use. RECOMMENDATION On December 11, 2024 by a vote of 8-0-0, the Community Preservation Committee recommended to City Council that the City of Somerville OSPCD Division of Public Space and Urban Forestry be awarded $200,000 of Community Preservation Act funds from the Open Space Reserve for the installation of water fountains at Nunziato Park. FUNDING CONDITIONS The project will follow the General Conditions outlined in a Memorandum of Agreement with the responsible department. No project-specific conditions apply to this project.
