New Haven's Wooster Square air quality benefits from the historic park's mature cherry blossom canopy providing natural filtration in the Italian-American neighbourhood. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding Chapel Street corridor contributes modest local sources, while the park's greenspace and the neighbourhood's tree-lined character generally maintain moderate New Haven metropolitan readings and Wooster Square provides one of New Haven's more pleasant residential park environments throughout most of the year.
