Such a beautiful park with a beach. There’s also a playground for kids. The sunset is so beautiful. There are trails for walking and plenty of places to sit and relax. A really beautiful place. Must see!

Love the cove! Its a great day what a good day for riding bikes or taking walks. Spritzing rain but hanging out by the water

Beautiful park,but the weather made it even better,good walking paths and exercise area.Could use a little more clean up,small amounts of garbage in a number of places.Area to be recommended.

This is my familys defacto weekend destination on warm days. You got couple of beaches, a nice open field, a well maintained kids play area and walk/bike trails. The tennis courts are added advantage. You need the city beach pass to park cars, but it is totally worth it since this place is not crowded in summer.

I spent my childhood there in the summer. Such a great place. Glad theyre enforcing the rules to enter the park. Much more enjoyable.

Cove island is the place to be on a sunny day in Stamford. Nice beach, park, recreation facilities for children. Ample parking space. You need a parking permit from May to September, rest of the year entry is free.

Nice park. Very scenic. Less than 50% wear a face mask. No social distancing. Very scary to be around others. I do not recommend.

So close, and very nice for such a small park

Cove Island is an amazing place to bring little kids, teens, and even a nice gathering for adults as well! They have a cafe with burgers, salads, ice cream, shakes, juices, and more! I nice round track through the park is good for walking, running, and yes- rollerblading and skateboarding too! 10/10

The best outdoor location in stamford!!!! Plenty of fresh air, no traffic to worry about, lots of seating n lawn area.very safe for both children n adults for walking,skating,cycling etc

The park is large and has picturesque view. The overall ambiance is relaxed and has a tinge if fun. Great place for a family gathering or BBQ, or even just a nice walk with a friend. The beach is nice however it isn’t so large. There a many boats there with an optional for rental as well. But that must be done ahead of time. The parking for the park is quite costly but you can easily find parking on the street which is a mere two minute walk away.

Nice place for a walk in the autumn sunshine. Not crowded even on this October Saturday. I wish there were a couple of porta-pottys, though.

Its a great place for a run, picnic or just a good family time. Views are amazing. Its always very busy, you can spend almost a day out here. I have always had a good experience and made good memories here. Great for photographers too, can test the HDR and other photography features to full effect.

Beautifull place.very peacefull. But parking very expencive

A very serene place with sandy beach and a cafeteria for some snacks and food.

Wonderful small beach with lots of trees that we love. Peaceful and lonely place not much crowded but very safe place to handout with Kids. There are many tree covered benches, picnic and grilling areas, and long enough walking paths. Tram circulates through the beach area and it’s free. Parking fees $25 per day. Bathrooms are clean. Staff are very friendly . Must go again.

It is very relaxing to take a walk in in the evening.

Its a wonderful place to unwind yourself. The freshness of air keeps you calm and concentrated.

Non-Stamford residents be aware that this STATE park will cost you $69 per weekend DAY!!! Vs. $26 seasonal pass for residents. It absolutely doesnt worth the money. But... You can try to find free street parking on SOME local streets within 10 - 15 min walk, like Charles St. Watch street signs as some streets residents only parking.

It was great me and my family go here once or twice a week. They have a snack bar, showers, and bathrooms. The showers run cold water only so be prepared

I love it is very last game a lot of people very comfortable to go there

Beautiful looking beach and spacious park to roam around. Water was a bit dirty--socks, plastic, and other debris could be seen. We didnt enjoy the water experience at all. Parking for out of town non-residents was $42 on Tues (6/23)

One of the best small-city parks ever.

Really beautiful. Lots of space.

Its a great place to go hang out with the family.

Very clean, quiet, great for family, picnics, exercise, bicycle riding, etc

Park is niceThe water is disgusting. It smells like swamps, the bottom feels slimy. Its pretty grouse. I kept gagging. If u are looking for clean water - not a great choice.

Good place with the various activities in it. close to the city and has a good parking lot. You can catch couple of good water views here

Huge oceanside park. There is plenty of place to walk the dog or for a morning run. There also is soccer, baseball and volleyball fields. A couple spots with picnic tables and BBQ are scattered across the park. There is also a few isolated benches along the beach to sit and a few great fishing spots.

Gorgeous beautiful place but if you drive their u have to pay for Parking or u cant come in unless u park far away for free then walk but other then that gorgeous wonderful pl6 na d view

Good place to spend an afternoon with yourself

Awesome place

Its a very peaceful park.They just started Residents only on weekends.

Nice place for everyone...

I love the beach, it is beautiful, the park too; But we need better restrooms

Usually uncrowded park on Long Island Sound with beaches, views, picnic and recreation areas. Fishing, a marina for boats, basketball, tennis and paths for rollerblading. Stamford residents park permit is $25. and non-residents are charged $225 for the season. Parking without a permit/sticker is limited but possible with a short walk, but pay attention to neighborhood watch signs.

Nice beach and park to enjoy jogging, having fun with your family and friends.

Beautiful! Bathrooms closed while I’m off season. Beautiful beach, paved walking trails, park for the kids, people biking and roller blading. Worth the trip!

Great park. Unfortunately, lots of bird poop on walkways.

Beautiful location. Good parking.

Picturesque park with beach on L.I sound. Really nice spot for beachfront BBQ or picnic.

Huge place...lots of scenic picnic spots. Residents permit required. One day pass for $26.5

If the parking wasnt $70, id give it 5 stars

Awesome place. Perfect for dogs!

Nice beach with a playground area for kids.

Lovely park my kids grow up there

Huge park connected to the beach, great place for family, BBQ and outdoor gathering, beautiful scenic view!

Here always is something to do for all ages,love my cove!!

My Favorite place to walk the dog

Very nice place. Great for the whole family.

Amazing place to visit with family . Spend whole day going to park, swimming beach , relax and refresh.Parking is tricky . Make sure you pay for parking otherwise you will get ticket . I got 80$ ticket for no reason !!!! I didn’t buy parking ticket and ticket counter allow me to enter the park without parking ticket and gave me violation tickets

Nice place for a walk with family.

It was such a beautiful place....the scenery park and beach were beautiful..cant wait to go again

This is nice and quiet place to making a party...

Nice place for running, walking, swimming, kayaking, BBQ.

Kids playground, beach, walking and bicycle tracks, barbecue zones, green fields to play soccer or anything else with kids. We love to be here on week-ends

Great parking lot and beautiful beach and playground. Its a walk to the park and beach area. You have been warned.

Pretty park with open grass, beach, marina, bike paths, and bathrooms. There are a lot of dogs and some are not on leash which makes it less pleasant. The beach was great during my October visit for kids to run around and comb for shells and crabs.

Best part about living in Stamford. Wide open space. Decent for rollerblading, cycling, jogging, bbq-ing, picnics. They have different paths assigned. I seen folks fishing as well. He beach has great views but its got a lot of shells.

Always love this place....

Cool park, great views

Gross and rocky. Sharp sand leaves more to be desired for.

The view from the water is good: Park, lake and behind them beautiful houses.In low tides, you need to go pretty far to be able to swim.The sand is pretty bad.Parking I remember was 25 if you dont go through Stamford city. You can park a little bit far from park in the smaller streets

I love this place. I like it for a run, with the kids, for anything. We love to go with the kids, they can run with their bikes, skates and I am not worry that they are going to get hit for a car or anything. We can have a picknick, or go to park right after they run a round and dont forget the views and the beach. Totally recommended for anyone that want to get some fresh air.

Covid Islands one of the most beautiful beaches around in Stamford

Great for taking a walk with the view of the sound. There is also a good kids playground off to the side as well as a public beach. The beach is shell-y so you may want to take some water shoes to not to hurt your foot

They are only allowing Connecticut residents In , so if you don’t have a CT ID bye bye

Pretty....damm expensive....they are doing all they can to keep the riff raff out!....

This is one of the better parks on the Stamford area. There is a beach area with a nearby concession stand. At the southern end there is a bird sanctuary with very nice walking trails which is also great for photography with plenty of wildflowers. There is also an ice skating rink where are local skaters practice for competition as well as recreation. During the summer there is a tram that circles the park and runs every 30 minutes. There is ample parking however during the summer parking fees are high so it is better to get a city beach sticker.

Large park with a decent beach, playground, picnic area and plenty of parking.

Salty fresh air, pretty views and easy to get to!

Big park w lots of things to do but the beach from the parking lot is quite a walk

One of the top 10 reasons to live in Stamford. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. Very family friendly.

Beautiful serene park! Great place for family gathering or simply to take a stroll in nature. Beach, sand, grass, parrots in the trees, BBQ areas, what more can you ask for.

I live very close to Seaside Park and I enjoy having such a nice place to exercise and hang out. The weekends can get very crowded but is usually very peaceful during the week. Within the last year they have added an exercise area where you can utilize multiple machines and benches.

Off season, it is quiet and not crowded. I go there to relax, cycle, shoot hoops or take a walk. Sometimes the shells dropped by demon sea gulls make it hazzardous to walk or bicycle on the pathways.

Popular place for walking dogs. Beach volleyball nets. Many geese.

Walk and enjoy

Trashy, expensive, foul water, small. $40+ for a day? Ha! Thieves. Its not even well kept, theres garbage on the ground.

Its a beautiful place to walk and I also play street basketball there. I love it!

Fun in the Sun with my Boys!!!

Nice park for walking and picnics

It has ice rink, Terry corner ice rink it is good and they offer classes for kids.

Best Christmas light house ever!!!! Say hi to Tony

Wonderful place to go with family. My husband and I love taking the kids. Cove island is a very inviting and everyone is always friendly.

Nice place to walk and bring something too eat and look out at the water.

Will not go back. Loud and people arguing

Beautiful place, lots of people though but there were quite places to sit lots of benches. Beautiful water view.

So clean and nice views.

Nice park, a lot of activities and very spread out. They do offer a trolly to bring you from the beach to the parking lot. Also parking is $25/day unless you have a Stamford beach pass.

Very beautiful park but limited parking.

Quiet in the mornings during the week

Very beautiful park!!!!

My favorite place to go do my cardio workout I love this island!!

Spleen the beaches nice I know how about some ice cream everything on their can play you can walk or have a bicycle with a little plane

Summer time .

Beautiful place, you can exercise, have a picnic, theres multiple beaches, or fish

One of the best beaches in Fairfield but Stamford should step up and Take better care of the gem.

Great place to relax with the family.

Great beach and park. Almost always a breeze if not windy. Nice walking areas and some playground and exercise equipment.
