Plainridge Park Casino's Fixed Position
Plainridge Park Casino is 25.8 straight-line miles from Boston, the nearest major reference point in the supplied data. Straight-line means great-circle distance, measured as the shortest path across the earth's surface between two coordinate pairs, not a road route.
Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. This article does not publish driving mileage, travel time, route numbers, or exit information, because none of those figures are documented here and all of them change with traffic, construction, and the specific origin point a reader chooses.
The venue's documented coordinates place it at 42.0339 latitude and -71.30243889 longitude in Plainville, Massachusetts. That position is fixed. A reader's starting point is not, which is why the table below lists many reference cities and their measured straight-line distances to the venue.
Documented Straight-Line Distances
Every distance in the table below is a great-circle measurement between the venue's documented coordinates and the named reference point. The column "测量类型" states the measurement type for each row.

Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Differ
A straight-line figure is the shortest geometric path between two points on a sphere. A road route is constrained by terrain, water crossings, and the actual layout of highways and local streets.
For a venue in eastern Massachusetts, the difference is shaped by several factors. The Atlantic coastline and inland waterways force routes around or over bridges. The road network radiates from Boston and other regional hubs, so a trip to Plainville rarely follows the direct compass line. Crossing a state border, such as into Rhode Island or Connecticut, can add distance when the most direct legal road path does not match the great-circle line.
None of those road factors are measured in this article. The table above is the complete set of documented straight-line pairs for this venue.
Plainville, Massachusetts in Regional Context
Plainville sits in Massachusetts, southwest of Boston based on the documented coordinates. The venue's position is roughly 42 degrees north latitude and 71 degrees west longitude, which places it in the northeastern United States.
Because the venue is in Massachusetts, readers approaching from New York or Connecticut would generally travel from the southwest, while readers from Maine or New Hampshire would approach from the north or northeast. Those directional statements rest only on the state names and the coordinate position, not on any specific road route.
The venue is owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment. It opened in 1999 as Plainridge Racecourse and changed to its present name in 2015 when it became a racino. The documented slot machine count is 400, a figure that reflects a published reference point and may change as the property is reconfigured.
Measuring From Your Own Starting Point
If a reader's origin is not in the table, the correct method is to take the reader's own coordinates and compute the great-circle distance to the venue's documented coordinates, 42.0339 and -71.30243889. That is the only measurement this article can support.
For a road trip, the reader should use a navigation tool with the venue's city and state, Plainville, Massachusetts, as the destination. That tool will produce a route and a road distance, which will always exceed the straight-line figure in the table.
Do not convert a straight-line number into an expected driving time. Travel time depends on traffic, speed limits, stops, and the chosen route, none of which are documented here.
What to Confirm Before You Go
The venue's physical location is stable, but operational details are not. Confirm the current slot machine count, any access restrictions, and the property's current operating status through the venue's own published channels before travelling.
Road conditions, construction, and border delays can change a trip plan. Check a live navigation service on the day of travel rather than relying on a fixed distance figure.
Ownership and branding of casino properties change through sales and rebrands. The owner and operator names given here are documented as of the publication date and should be verified against the venue's current materials if that matters to the reader.
