Harrybrooke Park

Beautiful Park. Nice easy walk.

Harry Brooke is a great park for walks by yourself or with family or even kids. It’s great for bike riding and rollerskating as well. It’s always beautiful to walk to the swans and the geese and if you’re lucky you might see a turtle crossing your path it is not a dog park so unfortunately, you cannot be your furry friend, but you can also rent out the pavilions for parties and they do have pair of peacocks that are absolutely beautiful

Harrybrooke Park is a 48 acre park located in New Milford. It's on the Still River and once belonged to a couple named Elizabeth and Frank Harden; they donated it in 1965. The house on the property that was built in 1941 is now a museum. There is a paved trail along the river, it has beautiful views and it's short at 0.75 miles. There are trails, meadows, wetlands, a garden, and pavilions. We visited for the Easter egg hunt event. They did a great job with dispersing the Easter eggs around for the kids. The park was large and gorgeous, perfect for events like that one. The trail was nice; however, there was a creepy dilapidated shack on it. I heard that they do a haunted trails event in the fall, which I am interested in going!

Loved this park very much! It's a great place for walk and picnic. Very clean and nicely maintained with an area for peacocks! The reason I rated a 3-start is for not allowing dogs. We can't imagine going anywhere for a walk without our dog. So we never get to visit this part leaving our dog behind! They could have at least allowed a specific section of the park for people with dogs. They'd have certainly got a lot more traffic.

Well kept park, only downside is dodging Geese (and their poop). Trial is paved and flat. Excellent for any athletic ability. Facilities are well maintained. Excellent place for small to mid sized gatherings.
