Dilboy Stadium

Dilboy Stadium is a sports facility in Somerville featuring synthetic turf for football and soccer, an eight-lane running track, and seating for around 2000 spectators. The complex also includes tennis courts, a memorial pool, and additional grass fields for various athletic activities.

The facility opened in 1955 and was named after George Dilboy, a Medal of Honor recipient from World War I. Congressman John F. Kennedy assisted in securing construction materials for the project.

Local school teams use this facility regularly for their competitions, creating a gathering place for the community. The venue has become central to Somerville's sporting traditions and draws spectators from across the neighborhood.

The facility is located in West Somerville and is available during daytime and evening hours for various activities. Visitors should check in advance which fields or areas are available, as these are often reserved for training and competition events.

The complex is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and includes a children's playground alongside the main sports areas. This combination makes it more than just a training venue for athletes.
