This park is named after Lou Ann David (1931-2011) in recognition of her outstanding service to our community. As a longtime resident of Somerville, David served on the Somerville Community Corporation, Community Action Agency of Somerville, and was a member of the Clarendon Hill Towers Tenant Association. Among other civic contributions, she was an early and passionate advocate for affordable housing.
Historic maps show this land has belonged to the City of Somerville since at least 1874. It served as open space for both the former Western Junior High and the former Powder House School which was closed in 2004.
