Squantum Point
Park |
Neponset District
617-727-5290
Open year-round, dawn to dusk. At
Squantum Point, visitors can see the Boston skyline across
the harbor and dozens of species of wild birds in the park.
The park was originally used as a Naval airfield. It was also
once the home of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, which
built destroyers for the Navy. The MDC developed the site as
a waterfront park with financial support from The National
Grid, while maintaining both its bird habitat and the traces
of its aviation history. The park officially opened to the
public in June, 2001, and it is now a popular spot to watch
the birds and take in the spectacular views of the harbor.
