Griffin Playground but doesn't say whether the infields are dirt or turf, so we haven't confirmed the surface. (4 softball diamonds (Sharon Recreation's Fields A-D) at the town's Dr. Walter A. Griffin Playground on Ames Street, plus a playground, basketball court, picnic area, parking and a playground building with restrooms (Town of Sharon; Sharon Recreation).)
