Faxon Field (also called Russell Park) is a 7.5-acre track and field complex on Southern Artery in Quincy Center, donated to the city in 1919 by Henry M. Faxon. It has a regulation track, a football practice field, five lighted tennis courts, and children's play equipment, and is a popular spot for public runners as well as school teams.
