New Haven Green is a 16 acre green space located in downtown New Haven. Surrounding it is the hustle and bustle of the city. There are beautiful historic architecture everywhere you look when you're standing in the Green. It was built in 1638 and is the location for many events and festivals, in the past and present. There are three historic churches located there. Also, it is one of the oldest town green in the U.S. It was even used as a cemetery back in the day and the bodies are still buried there, but the headstones were removed. My family and I enjoyed walking through. There were many benches and there were plenty of walkways throughout. Also, they now have wifi if anyone wants to work remotely from here or have a picnic. I'm a fan of historic places and this place definitely has a rich history.

I, had a relaxing time, sitting on various park benches, and snacking of foods, from the nearby stores: CVS and Rite Aid. A variety of individuals, passed through the park, on Easter Weekend, and social services, passed out supplies, and food, to the local homeless. A City bus hub, right there, in downtown: New Haven, CT-the park, is a convenient connection, for public transport, and the free City bus, back to the New Haven Amtrak train stain, and Greyhound bus, station. The park, is surrounded, by City Hall, a police subunit station, many small stores and restaurants, as well as several, historical religious buildings.

Downtown New Haven Green is absolutely gorgeous—a beautiful spot for a Sunday stroll, a peaceful sit, or simply soaking in that charming New England vibe. Just a note: you may encounter some houseless individuals, some of whom may be dealing with mental health challenges. They’re generally harmless, but it’s always good to stay aware and be respectful of the shared space.

Cute clean area. Love that it is great for walking and situated in a high traffic area with a lot of transportation options. Very clean and calming.

I love being down on the green..there is a lot to see and do. I can kind of imagine what it might have been 150 years ago. There is A LOT of history there with plaques telling stories. There are a lot of stores off the green and the elm trees (that are huge) make the difference. Anything you want to eat is within reach.
