Buttonwood Park is the largest and most popular public park in New Bedford, Massachusetts, known as the crown jewel of the city's parks. Designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, the park offers a range of recreational activities, including walking paths, playgrounds, basketball courts, and a Great Lawn for dog owners to enjoy. Visitors can also appreciate the park's historical significance and natural beauty, with its trees, flowers, and wildlife.
The Friends of Buttonwood Park, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, works tirelessly to protect and enhance the park. Through their Buttonwood on the Move initiative, they have successfully restored the basketball courts and are currently focused on creating a nature trail through the neglected woods. With ongoing projects and opportunities for community involvement, The Friends of Buttonwood Park invites visitors to support their efforts and make a positive impact on this cherished local treasure.
