Bike trails and splash pads
The Blackstone River Bikeway is a cycling trail that runs alongside the Blackstone River, a crucial power source during the Industrial Revolution. Parking for the trail is available in South Quinsigamond Village off Millbury Street. Bikers will eventually be able to ride for 48 miles from downtown Worcester to Providence, but for now people can bike between Worcester and the nearby town of Millbury. The 14-acre Greenwood Park is an outdoor gathering spot for South Quinsigamond Village residents. Neighbors play pickup games on its basketball courts, and kids splash around in its spray park. A forested nature trail exists for walks through the woods, and the park also has basketball and tennis courts, a multipurpose field, a softball diamond and a playground.

Commuter access
A perk of South Quinsigamond Village is its proximity to highways. The neighborhood sits west of Route 146, the Worcester-Providence Turnpike. It’s minutes north of the Massachusetts Turnpike, one of two east-west highways in the state. Since the Mass Pike runs to Boston, South Quinsigamond Village can be a solid choice for daily commuters to the capital. “It’s also a gateway to people who work south of the city,” says Economou. Neighbors can get to downtown Worcester in ten minutes, and the neighboring town of Millbury is just minutes away by taking Greenwood Street. Polar Park, the new home of the Worcester Red Sox, is a 10-minute drive.
Chain stores
South Quinsigamond Village is residential, but restaurants and shops are nearby. Neighbors can get groceries at Price Chopper or Walmart Supercenter. The Worcester Fair shopping center has stores like Burlington and Dollar Tree, and up the road, the Original Village Pizza makes pizzas, calzones and steak and cheese subs.Gifted program
Kids in South Quinsigamond Village can attend Worcester Public Schools. The district has nearly 24,000 students and is the second-largest in Massachusetts. Some children in the neighborhood attend Quinsigamond Elementary School (rated C by Niche), Sullivan Middle School (rated C-plus) and South High Community School (rated B). Some Sullivan and South High students participate in the Goddard Scholars Academy, a Worcester Public Schools program for gifted and talented students. Starting in sixth grade at Sullivan, kids take academically rigorous courses. Ninth graders can apply for the academy, even if they missed the first three years.
