Directions/Parking
Free parking is available in the lot at 114 Central St., Somerville (Woodbine Street is a private way with very limited parking). The lot is a very short walk across the small Somerville Junction Park from the Petitt residence (a purple house).
You are also encouraged to take the MBTA Red Line to Davis Square; the station is one mile west on Community Path and ends at Lowell and Woodbine Streets, down the street from the picnic. The 80, 88, and 90 bus routes stop within a quarter-mile. Feel free to bike over as well; the Somerville Community Path is an extension of the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway, easily accessed anywhere between Somerville and Bedford.
