Hartford's Bushnell Park air quality benefits from the 41-acre historic park's substantial greenspace providing natural filtration adjacent to the State Capitol. Vehicle traffic on Jewell Street and the surrounding downtown arterials contributes local sources, while the park's woodland and the open meadow geometry generally maintain Bushnell Park among Hartford's more moderately ventilated downtown green spaces throughout most of the year.
