STOnEHAM SquareStoneham Square is the heart of Stoneham's downtown center. The Town Center is being improved with a five-year action plan to improve public transportation and walkability, add community events, and beautify the streetscapes. The aim is to make the area function better for businesses, residents and visitors. But don't forget we have other great things outside the immediate Stoneham Square area, such as shopping, dining and the fantastic Middlesex Fells.
