This park has alot of activities to offer. Children plays are, skate park, walking paths around the pond and the surrounding forest. Our family has been going here for years and we love it
This is a really nice park. You can walk around the whole pond. It is delightfully scenic.In the summer time, they have had paddle boats that you can use on the pond.There are ball fields, basketball courts, and a skate park here.The playground has been updated/upgraded and look great.I do miss the old slide that was here, it was really big.The city of New Britain launches fire works here on he 4th of July during a big festival (celebrating the countrys independence) called The Great American Boom.This park is across from/next to the campus of Central Connecticut State University.There is also a large wooded area in the back. Part of this area, north of the back parking lot leads to an area known as the Ski Slope that kids can go sledding down in the winter. I dont remember a time where it was a running ski slope, nor do I know if it ever truly was a ski slope...
Love this park. You can exercise very safe during the day cameras everywhere people stay to themselves. Dont feed the animals you will be fined. There are workout stations all throughout the park.
As a small city New Britain does an excellent job of creating open space for their residents and even the outside visiting for a day of business..... sorry Bpt...New Britain is the Park City of CT.... FYI I grew up in the Park City and if the Park city was under the guidance similar to the City of New Britain they could return to respectability
I absolutely love what they have done. My daughter has so much fun here. :)
Great loop to walk/jog/bike around safely, close to home and CCSU
I absolutely love what they did with the new playground and basketball courts. Its beautiful seeing the new renovated park. It was much needed
Nice park newly renovated basketball courts, new playground for the kids, my 5 yo nephew had a blast.
Its a nice park, but it would be nicer if they didnt fine you for feeding the birds.
Perfect and not too challenging for my 4year old. Brings back memories
Liked the pond side walk. There are swings on the side people can enjoy
Nice park, alot of bird poop in the walkways but nice park overall plus it had work out stations periodically place in different locations around the walkway to work out its nice
This is just for the skate park. It is an incredible place to go in Connecticut. It is my favorite skatepark in Connecticut.
Some equipment needs to be restored, but overall great place to walk around and work out.
The park looks a lot nicer now with the new benches , playground and paved walkways make it easy for bicycles and skates, it will be nice if they do something about the algae.
Love it hear so much fun for the whole family.
It was great love the swivel chairs for the adults my daughter and my dog had a great time and I love the new plays cape
Great play ground, pond to walk around, tennis courts & skate park. Grew up in this park & still visit it frequently.
I grew up there. First kiss and Doobie. Ice hockey in the winter, baseball in the spring. Floating toy boats with Mom watching in 1970. Of course it was a different world
Its a beautiful area...lots of things the kids can do nice place to throw a party or just hang around...i recommend visiting this park
Beautiful park! Great place to take a relaxing walk around the pond, while enjoying the swimming geese. There is a nice playground for the kids, as well as soccer and tennis fields and plenty of free parking. Good spot to relax the mind and to decompress!
Clean play group. My kids just love to play here!
Best park ever in New Britain C.T. is under construction but you can still visit they are making in even better.God! Bless! Every body!
Beautiful park but the water has a beach smell which made me realize how nasty the beach is to share that smell. Cuz this water is filthy. Clean park but during my walk on certain parts the smell from the water is over powering
The park is clean also you can play any sport there that you want ...They have a skate park as well ... The basketball court is all redone over and the kids playground is brand new ........ Great place to have fun or just relax. I just prey that everyone does what they need to do to keep the park clean
With the new improvements a great park to go and stroll around
Love this park. As of april 12, 2020, the kids play area has been demolished. They are under construction currently and no word of when it will be open again. However, the park still has trails, fields to play baseball, a little pond, swings, and other things to explore
Very nice place to enjoy the calm beauty of nature.I like to walk the path around the pond on a nice sunny day.
Small but beautiful little park. Track around the pond, causal fishing, beautiful wildlife, and nice place for photos.
This place is a great place for families.
Its a really great place to relax on any nice sunny day
Loved the new exercise equipment.
Love Stanleys, there playscapes, picnic tables, grill, basket ball courts, walking trails and exercise equipment
Lovely stroll around the pond, quiet, great for a picnic lunch abd a good book
Great playscape for the kids.
Some of the roads are oddly blocked off without proper signage. Other than that its a great park.
The kids love the new look !!
Its an ok part that needs the renovation be its getting badly. It does have a pond to walk around, also wooded trails next to the skate park. The basketball courts I believe are getting redone currently 3/6/20 and they have baseball and soccer fields. The 4th of July fireworks are amazing here
First time visiting this park. Wide open space and clean.
The playground for the kids is updated and safe to play in not to mention peaceful and they have a huge basketball court.
It can be a very beautiful park. The town tries to keep it up, but it does have geese. Its a great place to walk or play tennis. Lots of families visit. They have a skate park. It is a peaceful place.
Great park. Beautiful location.
Nice and peaceful day walking in the park 6-19-20
Really nice place
Great place to take photos. Love the heart tree!
Great place to workout and relax love it.
Great place to walk, play tennis,or soccer
Good day
We went for the Fireworks and the place is huge so we had a great view of the Fireworks
Looks awesone beautifull
With some renovation at the park, the kids area and basketball court is inaccessible. However the walking trail is still useable. Minus the geese dropping the size of dog poop on the path, you could invent a few dance moves to hop around the mess. Or just treat it as a obstacle course and move on. Its beautiful out here and fall colours all around is so therapeutic for the soul and body. Dont need to drive too far for the fall colours!!!
The park is great but some of the people that come to the park are just animals. Leaving trash, garbage, tires, shoes etc all over the park. No respect for the town, park or nature. The water is disgusting and smells awful. Not to mention the giant algae blooms which somehow havent killed all the life in the pond. Definitely needs a facelift/clean up along with more mindful citizens and visitors. Really a shame. Way to go New Britain
Lovely quite scenery for a run jog or stroll anytime of the day. Kids love the wildlife and games played throughout the fields. Wish they turned the water already to clear up the algae.
Love this place.
Love walking along the pond or just sitting looking at it. Has a recreation area for the kids and plenty parking spaces.
New playscape is really nice
Love this place. Peaceful and fun.
Nice park
Nice park water needs to be cleaned geese are a bit mean and they are makeing a new playground
The walk around the lake was smooth
It was my first time at the New Britain fireworks as we just moved to the area. We had a great time. There could have been more ride options so the lines weren’t soo long for the kids otherwise everything was great. We had a great spot to view the fireworks and the display was great. Started right on time (that’s one of my biggest pet peeves) and For the price it was a fantastic family friendly night. Going to fireworks is one of my favorite things to do with my kids and will go to any town i feel is the best option. Normally we go to derby to see shelton as well, but so glad we went to New Britain this yr as the show was way better. Will definitely be back again next year.
I love this park, its small but its really calming to walk in with the ducks next to you swimming in the pond and the breeze hitting your skin. Its nice, also the sunset there is beautiful. Sometimes the tennis courts dont have nets idk why but its rare I think, most times the nets are put in.
Nice park... Lots to do or not do.
The fireworks are amazing here
Not to go to mass all over
I like this park. I dont even call it stanley quarter. I call it stanley third (stanley .33).
Good Bless
This park could use some TLC. I grew up going to this park and have fond memories of yesteryear. I went the other day with a friend and couldnt believe how the water in the duck pond looked so murky and nasty. The rest of the park was clean but that pond looked unfit for the ducks to be in.
One of the best public fireworks experiences in Central Connecticut, the Big Boom is a half hour show after a full day of celebration. Some come to the park, while neighborhoods in the viewing area fill with friends and family.All those cars represent a real challenge when everyone wants to leave at the same time. The New Britain Police get it better each and every year - just observe the barriers and police instructions and you will be out of the area within the hour, or less. Dont be particular where you are going until you are clear of the police directed area and in normal traffic.
Great place for kids. Really worth your money.I really enjoyed with my family.
Baseball games are very relaxing and the walk is always needed. This park even has a gym outside for pullups/situps/incline benches and more. Great community park
First place to get thin first person and also just to get out and see the park and great to view earky work for now al and find side baseball field park walk way ready wearth lake
Love the pond for fishing with my son and the skate park is great also big open fields for baseball or football we do the walking path also and sometimes the playground
Very good park for family and kids.
Its great when undesirables are not around, early in the day is best when they are still sleeping is best.
Close place near me that I loved as a child and still do!
Peaceful, and ducks
Nice park, looking forward to the lake being refilled after the dam repair work is completed.
Nice park.
They r great staff and they know how to work on your hair on anyone
Good park filled with families theres a track and some exercising equipment and a nice pond with ducks a skate park some soccer fields and fireworks on fourth of july
One lap around the park was is great draining all the water out the pawns is making it very hard for the ducks or geese are any birds trying to survive
Had a nice experience for the 4th of July
