Long Wharf Park — Attraction in New Haven

This is a wonderful dedication to a history-making event. However, the lack of care, maintenance and upkeep is sorely disappointing. We were visiting from a location over 10 hours away by car. When we saw that were were only minutes away from this Park, we had to visit. This was our second time there and the last time almost brought tears to my eyes. The plagues were faded and overgrown, the parking lot was so littered with trash, it was unbelievable. The shoreline was littered with trash.
