Most would say Walpole is a pretty and welcoming town that has something for everybody. It’s a large town where business, dining, and retail have a large presence. There are some small parks with trails (most notably the Bird Park), and playgrounds to enjoy, but that’s the extent of public green space. Walpole has an appealing small town center that’s very friendly to walkers, but traffic can build up quickly even on low volume days due to the multiple lights and intersections in a small radius. Traditionally, Walpole residents stay in their homes longer than the average.

There are many youth and adult activities/sports available in Walpole, with the help of the South Walpole Athletic Complex and Blackburn Hall. Walpole has a great website to show all the offerings. There’s 1 golf course (private) in town. There’s an annual Walpole Day for all to enjoy, in addition to mostly all holidays the town celebrates, which includes a 4th of July parade w/fire trucks the day before, and a Halloween on Main parade.
