Squantum Point Park, Protected recreational area in Quincy, United States
Squantum Point Park is a waterfront green space in Quincy featuring paved paths, picnic areas, and views across the harbor to the Boston skyline. The site extends along the Neponset River Estuary with open spaces designed for walking and spending time outdoors.
The land once served as a naval air station and later housed a major shipbuilding facility before being transformed into a park in the early 2000s. This industrial past shaped the site and remnants of that era remain visible today.
The park is named after a Native American leader and reflects the indigenous history of the area through its presence along the river. Local residents connect this place to stories of early contact and the land's original inhabitants.
The park is open from sunrise to sunset with parking areas near Victory Road for easy access. The paved pathways work well for walkers, runners, and wheelchairs, making it simple to explore different sections of the site.
The park preserves a section of the former naval runway that still runs through the grounds. Many visitors do not realize they are walking along what was once a landing strip used by military aircraft.
