A 24-acre Town parcel off Cedar Street bordered by the swampy, slow-moving Wading River, historically the boundary between Foxborough and Mansfield. It sits across the river from a private shooting range, so gunfire may be audible during a visit, and it is where the first documented beaver activity in the town's recent history was recorded.
