Neighborhood

Boston Road remains a commercial stronghold, home to the Eastfield Mall, various big-box stores, and a movie theater.

Springfield city parks, including Five Mile Pond and Loon Pond, provide places to swim, fish, boat, and picnic. The High School of Science & Technology and the controversially renovated Putnam Vocational High School are located in this neighborhood.[3]

The neighborhood also features numerous local and chain restaurants and a handful of independently owned restaurants and bars.
