The text is framed by a white cloud surrounded by blue sky as well as conifer trees on either side and land-water on the bottom.

Surrounding the major sign are several other signs. Most show school state championships. One shows that Sharon is a 'Heart Safe' community. The rest are of organizations that meet in the community.

The sign is one-sided.

The location is about 200 ft southeast of the intersection of Route 27, Norwood Street, and Edge Hill Road, on the right.

Sharon is an outer suburb of Boston. Though does have a portion along US Route 1, where there is mediumly dense commercial and industrial activity, much of the rest of town is protected land.
