Davis Square
The Davis Square neighborhood in Downtown Somerville is most known for the landmark Somerville Theatre, where you can view the newest successful independent films.

This candlepin bowling alley, which first opened in 1939, was one of almost 20 owned by the Sacco family. Candlepin bowling is a New England variation that uses a grapefruit-sized ball to knock down 10 thin, candle-like pins.
Somerville Public Schools
Somerville Public Schools (SPS) operates ten schools from pre-kindergarten to secondary schools. The majority of Somerville's schools (with the exception of Somerville High School, Benjamin G. Brown School, Capuano Early Childhood Center, and Next Wave/Full Circle) are kindergarten through eighth grade. To visit the school webpage, click HERE.
Parks and Recreation
Although the City of Somerville Parks and Recreation Department supports the various sports leagues in many ways, the City cannot assist independent leagues in enforcing their own internal issues. Each league organizes itself in different ways with a wide range of regulations and enforcement mechanisms.
