Hanson Recreation: (781) 293-2333

Owned By: Town of Hanson

Botieri Field is a multi-sport complex on Route 58, owned by the Town of Hanson. It features facilities for basketball and baseball (Little League and major league), as well as the Hanson Skate Park. It is directly adjacent to the Hanson Veterans Memorial Town Forest.

Features

This property was improved in the 2010s thanks to Community Preservation funds.

This land is within the region of the Massachusett (or Massachuseuk). To learn more about local Native American tribes, we encourage you to interact with their members. The Massachusett tribe at Ponkapoag and the Mattakeeset band of the Massachusett share information on their websites.

Prior to European contact, the Mattakeeset band of the Massachusett lived for thousands of years in the North River watershed. Their village included most of today’s Pembroke and Hanson. The word “Mattakeeset” means “place of many fish.”

Trail Description

No trails, but right next door is the Hanson Veterans Town Forest, which features a mile of trails and views of Wampatuck Pond.

Habitats and Wildlife

The property is located very close to Wampatuck Pond. The 62-acre impoundment is manmade, and Indian Head Brook flows through it. The property itself is mostly grass, but in the woods nearby, you will find pine and oak, as well as maple, beech and holly trees, and also and a remarkably large yellow birch!

Indian Head Brook is a major tributary to the Indian Head River. The Indian Head River forms the boundary between Hanover and Hanson, and merges with Pembroke’s Herring Brook, a short distance downstream of Ludden’s Ford Park, to form the North River at a spot called The Crotch. The North River flows 12 miles through Pembroke, Hanover, Norwell, Marshfield and Scituate, eventually making its way to Massachusetts Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
