Edgerton Park is a verdant gem on the north end of New Haven, Ct.

Gorgeous! We love the chickens and enjoy the flowering trees, perennials and bulbs throughout the Spring. Unfortunately, despite the policy to keep dogs leashed, people let their dogs run around off-leash like it is a dog park (there is a dog park down the street!). The last time I was there (several weeks ago), I was looking for a place to set up a picnic blanket for my family, and I came across dog feces that had not been picked up by their owners in several places. I shouldn't have to worry about stepping in dog feces in a beautiful park like this. Very...

Took my granddaughters to freely ride their bikes. They love spending time with their grandmother and I love getting them out for excercise. We had a great time. Edgerton Park gives you the serenity to think, reminisce, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Definitely look into when the greenhouse is open to purchase plants. Hard to believe there was once a mansion on the premises and the wine donated the land to be enjoyed by others. Google the Love Story about Edgerton Park, you'll definitely feel the sorrow, shed some tears, and enjoy...

Love this park! Many places to explore: The community garden - a great spot to sit or roam and smell the flowers. The greenhouses: you can buy plants here! The sales benefit a nice nonprofit. There are also cool plants in the greenhouses to look at (like cacti and tropical plants!) Big grassy area for picnics and sledding in the winter. There’s a wooden swing under a big tree. There’s chickens in one corner of the park! In the summertime they do Shakespeare in the Park here as well as a bonsai show. Top tier park! ☺️
