Small playground plus a baseball field, soccer/lacrosse fields, and a basketball court.
Features
The playground is not fenced in, but it is far enough from the road to provide some peace of mind. The surface is a combination of rubber and wood chips. Equipment includes swings, slides, ramps, a seesaw with seats, and various things to climb upon, or otherwise keep the little ones engaged.
Habitats and Wildlife
The streams and wetlands on this property flow into the Plymouth River. The Plymouth River is a major tributary to Crooked Meadow River, which joins with Fulling Mill Brook to create the Weir River. The Weir River flows north through Hingham, with Tower Brook and Accord Brook joining it in its first mile. It gradually turns northeast and flows for another 1.4 miles to Foundry Pond. The Weir River Estuary, designated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as an Area of Critical Concern, begins just below the manmade dam at the pond. The mile-wide estuary forms the border between Hingham and Hull, and empties into Hingham Bay.
