To the editor:

On behalf of the people who enjoy the Nunziato Off-Leash Recreational Area (OLRA), we thank the men and women of the Somerville Department of Public Works who installed the new surface at the park. The new surface of course stone dust absorbs rainwater, it does not retain the smell of urine, and it inhibits the growth of bacteria. We love it.

Maintenance of the Nunziato OLRA is funded through contributions to Somerville Unleashed, the city of Somerville’s revolving fund for off-leash recreational areas. In this season of giving, we invite everyone who enjoys off-leash recreation at Nunziato Field to consider making a tax-deductible donation to Somerville Unleashed.

Checks payable Somerville Unleashed may be sent to: Somerville Unleashed, c/o Carlene Campbell, City Hall, Mayor’s Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development, 93 Highland Ave., Somerville, 02143.

We appreciate the continued support of the city administration for off-leash recreation.
