Squantum Point Park is a state-owned, public recreation area located on the Squantum peninsula of Quincy, Massachusetts, managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. The park occupies the site of the former Squantum Naval Air Station.[3] All that remains of the former military installation is part of a runway which runs for 2,700 feet. The park is associated with the development of the Neponset River Reservation.[4]
Activities and amenities
Squantum Point is the eastern terminus of the Quincy RiverWalk, a 2-mile trail along the Quincy side of the Neponset River Estuary.[5] The park provides views of the Boston skyline and opportunities for picnicking, canoeing, bird watching, and shoreline fishing as well as paths for running and in-line skating.[3]
