Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center

The Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center is a city-owned and operated park in Ansonia, Connecticut. Once a small family-owned dairy farm, the park is laced with two and one-half miles of nature trails. The land encompasses 156 acres of wooded hills and grassy fields bisected by streams, a two-acre pond, wet meadows, and an upland swamp. The site is a wonderful microcosm of a typical Connecticut landscape that provides sanctuary to many species of New England flora and fauna. A portion of the park has been dedicated to recreational soccer fields, as well as several acres reserved for community gardening and a large playscape for younger children.
