Bandstand Park
South Main Street, Assonet

The bandstand in Assonet was built along the Assonet River on the site of the former Green Dragon Tavern. Built by a WPA laborer during the Great Depression, it was intended in part to replace the stage that was lost when the tavern was demolished.

The bandstand is a well-recognized part of the town's landscape. It's home to evening concerts by local music groups during the summer, which often serve as fundraisers for various local organization. The Tuesday Club of Assonet's annual Strawberry Festival is held at the bandstand each year on Father's Day. The town Christmas tree is proudly decorated and displayed at the bandstand each December.

Central Park
Memorial Drive, East Freetown

Central Park began in the late 1980s as a single baseball field, Memorial Field, dedicated to former police chief Norman Allison. In the early 21st century, a cadre of volunteers developed the site into a multi-field complex with basketball courts and a walking loop trail.

Central Park has quickly become a popular recreation area in town.

Hathaway Park
Water Street, Assonet

Once the property of the Hathaway family, this park on the banks of the Assonet River features a playground and plenty of open space to run, walk, or start up a baseball game. The park is also home to the annual Independence Day fireworks faire.

Memorial Park
Memorial Drive, East Freetown

Memorial Park is a tribute to the men and women of town who have served in the protection of their community, both at home and abroad. The centerpiece of the park is a Vietnam-era Cobra helicopter.

Porter's Shore
Gramp Deane Road, Assonet

Over 10 acres of wooded conservation land on the shore of Assonet Bay provide ample space for hiking, walking, and picnicking. A single lane dirt road provides access from Gramp Dean Road to the bay for vehicles carrying canoes or other small watercraft. Fishing and swimming are popular summertime passtimes.

The Tisdale Burying Ground, a Revolutionary War-era cemetery, is also located atop a hill on the property.

Rezendes Baseball Complex
Narrows Road, Assonet

Five baseball, softball, and t-ball fields on a quiet, residential street were formerly the home to the Assonet Youth Sports Association, and are now used by the new Freetown Youth Athletic Association. A small forest and pond sit just to the east of the ballfields. Ruins of the former Crystal Springs Bleachery fill the forest.
