Steve, Dawn told me that black maple was present in the park so it is certainly possible. The bark on the the far side of the tree was not as coarse as it is on the side photographed. I have no opinion. For those interested there is a nice maple identification site here: http://www.massmaple.org/treeID.html that discusses the differences between the different species.
