Ponds, parks and golf provide green space for community gatherings

Outdoor adventures reflect the town’s balance of gathering spaces and natural retreats. Mansfield Center is home to several parks where residents can attend larger town events like vendor markets and the annual fair. Fulton Pond offers a walking loop around the water and is also popular for birdwatching. Mansfield Memorial Park, located next to the public library, includes a playground and athletic fields and courts. South Common is the town’s central green space, hosting seasonal events like the fall Arts and Crafts Show. Overlooking the Common is the Congregational Church of Mansfield, a historic structure that blends Gothic grandeur with the simplicity of a New England meetinghouse, marked by its copper steeple. On the south side, TPC Boston is a private and exclusive golf club. “Hundreds of conserved acres surround the course, which are also used for hunting, another big attraction here,” says Dan Kelleher, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Elite.

Italian spots, pubs and a music venue mold the town’s social core

The community’s commercial and cultural scene is centered around local eateries, shopping malls and large-scale entertainment. Cibo Matto and Trattoria Della Nonna are well-known for their Italian fare, while Pushkart Café draws a steady crowd for breakfast and brunch. Fresh Catch is a go-to for seafood, and Jimmy’s Pub & Restaurant and Flynn’s Irish Pub are popular gathering spots for casual meals and drinks. Mansfield Crossing, an open-air shopping mall, offers a mix of national retailers and smaller boutiques. Nearby, The Fresh Market provides upscale grocery options, while Shaw’s is a more traditional supermarket. The Xfinity Center stands out as a major venue that brings energy to the town, hosting big-name musical acts in its outdoor amphitheater. “The Xfinity Center is a big deal, but we’re not always a big fan of it because it can bring a lot of traffic,” Kelleher says. “They did put a new on-ramp onto Interstate 495, which helps significantly."

Interstate 95 and the MBTA commuter rail serves the area

Interstate 95 runs through town, and residents are about 30 miles south of Boston and 20 miles north of Providence. For air travel, Boston Logan International Airport is the larger hub, while Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport in Providence provides a more accessible alternative. “It’s smaller than Logan without as many flights, but you can park your car and get into the airport much quicker than you can at Logan,” says Kelleher. Mansfield Station provides MBTA commuter rail service, with trains running to Boston and to Providence. The station also serves as a pickup point for the MBTA bus, which offers direct service to Logan Airport.
