Somerville’s Assembly Row Welcomes City’s First Beach Volleyball Court

SOMERVILLE, MA – Somerville’s Assembly Row development will welcome the city’s first beach volleyball destination this spring, alongside a Downeast Cider pop-up shop and summer artisan market.

“Each year we look to bring new activities and excitement to Assembly Row with pop-ups and creative activities,” David Middleton, vice president and general manager of Assembly Row, said in a news release. “Beach volleyball is new to the market and creates yet another compelling reason to visit the neighborhood along with the addition of new retailers, restaurants, and our popular events.”

Four beach volleyball courts and 12 pickleball courts with corresponding sports leagues on-site will be situated on 75,000 square feet in the park at Assembly Row, located at 355 Artisan Way.

Other parts of the park will be utilized for bocce and cornhole leagues while Downeast Cider will be the beverage partner for the entire area. Players can use the park through private court rentals, one-day tournaments, or pickup matches.

Registration for all May leagues closes on May 3 and can be accessed here.

A new summer artisan market featuring handmade goods from local, women-owned businesses is also set to launch this May and will continue once per month ending with Riverfest on September 16.
