• Directions

Located on the corner of Harrison Avenue and Railroad Street in North Abington, Arnold Park features a baseball field, a basketball court, a small playground, and picnic tables.

The playground’s surface is composed of wood chips. A renovation of the playground and the construction of two street hockey rinks are both planned for this property’s future.

This land is within the region of the Massachusett (or Massachuseuk). To learn more about local Native American tribes, we encourage you to interact with their members. The Massachusett tribe at Ponkapoag and the Mattakeeset band of the Massachusett share information on their websites.

Habitats and Wildlife

This grassy property is lined with oak and maple trees. It is situated in the watershed of French’s Stream. The western and eastern branches of French’s Stream originate in Abington and Rockland, and flow together in the Rockland Town Forest. The stream continues southeast across Rockland and merges with the Drinkwater River on the outskirts of Forge Pond Park in Hanover. The Drinkwater River flows through Forge Pond and Factory Pond before turning east and becoming the Indian Head River. It joins Herring Brook in Pembroke and Hanover to form the North River, which flows 12 miles through Hanover, Pembroke, Norwell, Marshfield, and Scituate, to the Atlantic Ocean.
