This is such a beautiful spot to come to there is parking as well. I love bringing my dog here she loves to walk around and sit and stare at the river I enjoy watching the boats go by as well you can also fish off the dock. They have picnic benches that are here so you can sit and relax after a nice walk if you have not checked this place out before you should because there is such a nice view here.

Park at Melilli Lot if there's an event and walk under the highway with your chairs and what-not. Bathrooms were open for a concert we went to recently but I've not seen them open during other random times we've been here. There is a parking area in this small park that's by the water, but it's hard to get to without accidentally getting on a highway. There is a restaurant you can walk to. You can boat to this park. It's s small skinny park but much enjoyed by dog walkers, people who want to see a nice sunset or watch boaters, etc. It's seen some rough times with vagrancy in the past but I felt this visit warranted the compliment that things seem cleaner and even the pollinator garden area looked nice.

Good. Access road to park is tricky if entrance missed, will enter HWY-9.

Not bad to spend a lazy afternoon. Lazy because it’s relatively a small space - probably the starting point for boating in Connecticut river. In mid April however , we saw some fishing in the deck and beside the river. Parking place also small. Seems not to be a happening place but We found a beautiful skyline. And any riverside - I like. Probably in summer it become crowded for boating activities.

Great spot for those wanting to take sunrise and sunset pictures. I even had the welcome surprise of getting photo bombed by Wesleyan Womens Rowing Team. Made for some great pictures. Convenient parking right next to the boardwalk. Can't wait for the new restaurant to reopen.
