Walnut Hill Park — Attraction in New Britain

I moved here from Boston to be near this park. The landscape designer is same as NYC Central Park, Frederick Law Olmsted. I live two blocks away, and it's like living on Madison Avenue for pennies on the dollar. It's flowing and beautiful with great vistas, many entrances, plenty of parking, and is well mowed.

After I recently visited Elizabeth Park in Hartford/West Hartford border, I was that much more impressed with Walnut Hill Park. The fabulous American Art museum right on the park, the clear views of over 30 unique historic homes, the way the parking is congregated into lots in three locations, leaves a lot of the loop free from traffic and 'looking at parked cars'.

There's always people here bicycling jogging running walking and enjoying all the outdoor activities that comes along with enjoying a beautiful Park. Every time there's going to be a nice Sunset I make sure I come to the park to catch a glimpse of it. You can also take some amazing pictures...
