Tour the Ansonia Center for Connecticut Tourism journey
One of the hidden gems of your Connecticut tourism journey is the chance to visit some of the tiny parks that show what Connecticut nature is truly like. A visit to the Ansonia Recreation Center will enable you to see first hand how beautiful this area of the state is. You can take a walk along the two half miles of nature trails and see the smashing flowers and plants that line the way.
The park was first a dairy farm but was purchased and is now managed by the town of Ansonia for the point of teaching people of the glory of nature. The 104 acres are filled with the wonders that make the countryside such apleasant place to spend a day or longer. Here you can spend some time walking along the streams that divide the property or just sit by the 2 acre pool and relax with the sound of the water and the ripples the wind makes across the pool. Go for a walk through the grasslands and visit the upland swamp to see what number of the new england flora and fauna you can identify. When you realize that you really do not know that most of them youwill need to take part in the instructional opportunities offered thru the visitor center. They offer nature-oriented classed for college age children on weekdays and for the adults or for families they offer classes on the weekends and in the evening.
A part of the park has been dedicated to recreational fields to add to the use of the facilities. There are soccer fields, baseball fields and softball fields that are utilised by everybody locally. Thereis also land put aside for community gardening which provides fresh items for those that take part as well as allows people to share ideas and stories about gardening with others from the community. It’s a way to get together with something advantageous to everybody.
Another part of the park that may please all oldsters of littler people is the playscape. Here they can run, climb and play with other kids of their own age and wear out some of the energy they have had while at home!
The Visitor Center is open from 9-5 daily with the exception of major holidays but even if they aren’t there, the garden will still be worth taking a jiffy to see. The park itself is open common-or-garden from dawn to nightfall. The park is free to everybody and found at 10 Deerfield Road which is on the easterly side of Ansonia in New Haven County, close to the Woodbridge town border. Come out and spend a while on your Connecticut vacation to enjoy nature and take 5 from driving, just enjoy a day in the park.
