One thing I have noticed consistently in the this area (Mansfield/Plainville/Foxboro) is that it seems towns are very rarely dropping sand, and never dropping salt. This goes for the entire winter so far this year.
I understand now JohnnyD. St Mary's has an inner courtyard play area, but rarely lets the kids out there now that there is snow in it.
The gym floor needs to get resurfaced every year after being abused by schools shoes.

The DPW sandpile is down by the animal shelter off of Fruit street.
I was doing my normal Sunday morning volunteering at the shelter and saw numerous private citizens pulling up to the now dwindling sand pile for their own sand fix.

There is absolutely no salt in down unless it is at the DPW on 106E.
