Ivey Memorial Park — Attraction in Branford

A great place to relax and enjoy the view of the beautiful...

There is a nice spring to swim in if the River is not to high. A nice big pavillion for family gatherings,but is not kept up as well as it should be and porta potties for restroom facilities. I like to visit and just look at the River and watch the boats. Very...
