I used to shoot there years ago. Nice range, lightly used. Out on the left side there were a series of bunkers from 100 meters to 500 meters with target stands you could raise and lower. There was also 1000 meter and 1500 meter berms down the center. It was pretty grown over from lack of use. Handgun range was on the right. Former National Guard range before the City of New Bedford took it over. Two buildings on property. The one on right stored City equipment and building on left was mostly vacant. Kind of a shame. It would have made a great clubhouse. Massive floor to ceiling stone fireplace, beamed ceiling, full 2nd floor.

Who runs it and what's it like now?

I used to shoot IHMSA Silhouette years ago there was a nice range. But I don't live in New Bedford and the non-resident permit to shoot got too expensive ($60.00). Its run by the City of New Bedford Park dept. Used to have someone there that you would have to sign in with. List your caliber you were shooting, bullet weight, firearm. But he passed away and not sure what the deal is there now.
Apparently some neighbor a few years back complained that bullets were hitting his property. He "salted" the area around his house with stuff he took off the range. So the whole sign-in was required.

I was a member there for a year. It's $60 for the whole year, yes, and it all goes to New Bedford PD, iirc. The range itself is run by volunteers. Decent place for the money.

I was just about to sign up, but all the links went down recently. None work and nothing on the New Bedford site, it's like it vanished. Is this still open, or did it close?

I think you can just go when they are open and speak to a Range Officer. I can't speak for the other days of the week, but Wednesday night you could ask for Bob.
