Riverside Park

Riverside Park is a bustling Connecticut River park with a boathouse and banquet hall, a boat launch, picnic facilities, trails and playgrounds. The park also has a cricket field, an adventure challenge course and fishing access to the Connecticut River. Originally designed by the Frederick Law Olmstead firm in 1899, the park has undergone significant changes over the years as a result of the filling of wetlands and construction of the interstate highway. Fishing is permitted at Riverfront, Riverside and Charter Oak Parks during the fishing season as established by the State of Connecticut.
