Some trees in Buttonwood Park
Good morning
Today I am going to share a few shots of trees in Buttonwood Park her ein New bedford, a place fairly close to where I live and I go there for walks often, and generaly focus more walking around the pond, but today I will focus on some of the many trees there, and its is a dull grey day here as I prepare this so I will concede I may have ben na bit generous bumping up the greens in these photos

A little bit about the park
Located on 97 acres in New Bedford’s West End, Buttonwood Park is the largest and most visited public park in the city. The park is an oasis of nature right here in New Bedford, with gardens, a pond, an arboretum, walking paths, a playground, a zoo, and several ball fields and basketball courts.
Buttonwood Park is not just a treasure for its recreational opportunities — it’s also a historical treasure. In 1895, Charles Eliot of the famed architectural firm Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot developed the original master plan for the park. In 1988, a new Olmsted-inspired master plan was adopted, serving as a blueprint for The Friends of Buttonwood Park to improve the park.
In 2000, Buttonwood Park and parts of the surrounding neighborhood were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Many of the trees I share here are in the Arbotereum portion of the park
