Opening June 2024

We are working with the City of Somerville to transform a vacant lot in Gilman Square, Homan’s lot, into a three-month outdoor community space. Gilman Park will be a gathering space for local organizations, a hangout space for residents, and an opportunity for development for local businesses, artists, and creatives. The goal of this activation is to connect Gilman Square with the rest of Somerville, bring back vibrancy, and test out future uses for vacant sites in Somerville.

Get engaged

We are working closely with residents, local business owners, institutions, artists, and creatives in and around Gilman Square. Keep a lookout for updates on ways that you can be involved!

We’re hiring!

We are looking for two staff positions to help bring Gilman Park to life! These positions will coordinate logistics before and after the activation and run day-to-day activities while it is open.
