In 1870 they moved to a park at the corner of Washington and Berlin Streets. In 1871 they moved to a park bounded by River, Eastern, Silver, and State Terrace Sts., where the 1872 pro team played. This site is currently the Maplewood Terrace Housing Development.

There was a Mansfields JUNIOR Club in Middletown, according to the Waterbury Daily American, June 8, 1868. Same club, or a junior version? [ba]
