Playtime on the pond
Stafford Pond sits at the center of the neighborhood. Aside from a few large coves on the north end, it’s broad and open, almost 2 miles long and over half a mile wide. From a cement ramp, locals can launch their boats into the water. Known as one of the best fisheries in the state, Realtor Rachel McNally with Century 21 Shoreline Properties says, “The pond is stocked with trout. Locals love to go fishing there.” Bulgarmarsh Park, south of the pond, features a playground, two basketball courts, a skate park and a softball field, where two different adult recreational leagues are hosted.
Across from the park is the Raymond F. Jones Memorial Dog Park, which includes fenced-in play areas with obstacles for pups to challenge themselves. Adjacent to the dog park is the new 24,000 square foot Tiverton Public Library. Located near Tiverton Middle and High Schools, it was designed to be a gathering place for the neighborhood. The library has a community meeting hall, teen room, children's library and exterior courtyards. Locals are also about 5 miles from Mt. Hope Bay, where they can enjoy waterfront activities like fishing, paddleboarding and sailing.
