Confirmed from Squantum Point Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
This parkland offers a fishing pier, bird watching, trails, picnic areas & harbor & city views.
What runners say about Squantum Point Park
“This is a nice spot, not very crowded, good enough to watch sunset and the beautiful reflections on the water.”
“It's such a nice quiet place whether your just out for a walk or walking your dog it is nice!”
“Great views of the harbor and Boston and very dog friendly.”
This became my office for an afternoon on a recent business trip. On a warm sunny day, this is a great place to enjoy the afternoon. And bonus points if you're an aviation enthusiast because you are right on the landing path when the planes are approaching from the south!
Decent park for exploring. I think it could be much better if it was a bit more taken care of...Lots of dogs off leash so be careful if you have small kids or your own pup. Nice little walk that opens up to a landing. Once you hit the landing you have great views from Marina Bay.
This is supposedly the best sunset point in Quincy. It’s located in a nice and clean locality. Plenty of public parking space. It’s not a huge walk but good for short evening stroll, especially if you have pets. Nice seating at the edge of the water. Small beach access as well.
Beautiful park that is surrounded by water. Great views of Boston skyline. A walkway is paved and perfect for strollers. Lot of dogs swimming and playing.
