Love this so close to my home. My little one loves walking to the park. The electric is on so you can use the outlets if you need them, theres Pokemon stops and gyms. The pumpkin festival is always fun.

Really great place to come and eat lunch. There are plenty of benches and a couple of tables. Also a great place to bring your kids to play in a park. Theres a big field around the baseball field, tennis court, and a playground. Great views on top of the hill.

One if my favorite parks in Seymour - I bring my 22 month old here quite often during the warmer weather. It has everything that a typical park has... Playgrounds [1 for older children, 1 for the youngsters like mine], baseball field, large open flat grass area, trails & although the public restrooms are boarded up, the park does have portapotties.Extras that make this park truly one of a kind....French Park isnt just a park... as you can read in the name - its also is a memorial for veterans. From the moment you come through the main entrance, making your way up the parks lengthy driveway, monuments & statues along with stone structures instantly capture your attention. Continuing up the driveway is where yall will find where the true beauty lies. To the left, you have the most breathtaking views directly over route 8, seeing all of downtown Seymour & the valley as far as one could see. To the right is the perfect overlook of thee whole park. The driveway continues down the whole length of the park and sits at the highest point, along with one of the playgrounds, swings sets, and an upper parking lot. The terrain & landscape (and the view - all around 360) are the most unique aspects and why i personally recommend this park.Between the upper level and lower level- is a huge hill that begins with concrete bleachers built into the hillside... which creates a path for you to get from the upper level parking lot to the bottom where the fields are. To the left of the bleachers, the hill goes from super steep to less of an incline & widening. Trees break up the hill, allowing and providing sections for the perfect coverage and shade for spectators who want to get out of the sun since the hills provide the perfect view of the entire flat fields below. Park also has a full size tennis court and an actual dugout, along with the youngsters playground which could all be found on the lower level. This park is a MUST SEE next time you want a change of scenery

Very nice place to go and see football games during the fall. There’s parking and a playground with basketball courts too. There are many historical things to see too. Such as old cannons

After regular spring season ends, there are only porta potties, snack bar is not open and their is handicapped parking but field itself is not flat nor wheelchair accessible. Beautiful fall foliage view. Google maps will tell you to make at right after Webster bank; this is a one way so you will have to reroute to enter park.
