The Buttonball Sycamore

Platanus occidentalis

Arrival & parking

DCR places the Buttonball Tree on North Main Street in Sunderland. The town’s historical brochure and UMass describe it beside the sidewalk. Plan a view from the public sidewalk. A dedicated visitor parking area is not confirmed by these sources: use only legal, signed public parking and check local restrictions before leaving your vehicle.

Walking & terrain

The walking distance depends on where you can legally park. The published sources do not establish a continuous step-free route or current sidewalk condition. Stay clear of traffic and follow any temporary pedestrian diversions.

Access, fees & seasons

This guide is for public-sidewalk viewing, with no ticketed entry described in the sources. It does not establish permission to enter the adjoining yard. Respect fences, root-protection areas, and current signs. The historical brochure dates to 2008 and UMass’s preservation account discusses earlier road works; neither provides live access conditions.
