Somerville History Bike Tour: Somerville Parks, Then and Now

Ron Newman, Neighbor

The Somerville Bicycle Committee and Somerville Historic Preservation Commission team up to lead a bicycle tour of Somerville's parks. 

Many of them used to be something other than parks. Ride with us to learn more.

We'll meet at 2 pm at Somerville City Hall, leaving promptly at 2:15. The 8-mile ride will go at an easy pace with several stops, and should be finished by around 4:30.

Please bring a $3 donation to support the activities of the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission.

A tentative map of our route is at http://g.co/maps/kyuzt .

This event is part of Bay State Bike Week (http:// baystatebikeweek.org/).
