Description
“Winch Park is the sister park to Butterworth and is located in Saxonville adjacent to the Framingham High School. It includes a baseball stadium that includes permanent bleachers on one side of the field, a basketball court, tennis courts and two large practice fields used for football, soccer and lacrosse. There are two additional multi-use fields located on the other side of the high school’s gymnasium building.”
“Bowditch, along with Butterworth and Winch Parks, were all built during the Great Depression of the 1930s as WPA projects.” (Wikipedia)
