Squantum Point Park is a state-owned, public recreation area located on the Squantum peninsula of Quincy, Massachusetts, United States. The park was created on the site of the former Squantum Naval Air Station, which is preserved in a 2,700-foot-long (820 m) strip of runway, and the former dockworks of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation.[3] The park is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and is associated with the development of the Neponset River Reservation.[4]
