Kingston’s Opachinski Athletic Complex is a sprawling 58-acre property with fields and facilities for baseball, softball, football, soccer and lacrosse, as well as two basketball courts. In addition, there is a seasonal concession stand with restrooms and meeting rooms, plus the Children’s Garden of Peace, a memorial garden. It is also known as the Opachinski Field Complex.

Features

This land is within the region of the Patuxet Wampanoag tribe, who for centuries have inhabited the area around the Jones River now known as Duxbury, Kingston and Plymouth. To learn more about local Native American tribes, we encourage you to interact with their members. The Mashpee Wampanoag and the Herring Pond Wampanoag share information on their websites.

Habitats and Wildlife

This grassy property is bordered by pine/oak forest. The Children’s Garden of Peace features ornamental trees and plantings.

This property is located within the watershed of Halls Brook. Halls Brook finds its source above Bracketts Pond in Kingston and winds from the western part of town, and through the downtown area. Just west of Route 3, it flows into the Jones River.

The Jones River finds it source at Silver Lake, and extends for 7.5 miles through the town of Kingston. Follow the Jones River Watershed Association for more information.
