Outdoor Activities
Great place for hiking, has an amazing view of all of New Haven and parts of Hamden. Great for barbecuing and just hanging out at the top. You can drive up to the top and park your car. You can also bring your dog(s)!
I personally have been hiking and running here for years. It’s a huge park with lots to discover!
