Memorial Square is a neighborhood located in Springfield, Massachusetts. A predominantly Puerto Rican neighborhood with several parks, Memorial Square is within walking distance to Springfield's three nationally ranked hospitals, Baystate Medical Center, Shriner's Children's Hospital, and Mercy Medical.
