We love coming here. It’s quiet and peaceful during the week and very lively in the weekends. Just last Saturday and Sunday there were wedding, birthday parties, picnics and classes being held in the open field. There is garden plot for rent. It’s enjoyable to see all kinds of flowers and vegetables being grown in each plot. We always look for the garden cat, Simba who lives here. Bring some cat treat with you and he might show up!

One of my favorite parks and now with Covid you can socially distance comfortably

New Havens hidden gem, get away from the city and stroll through public garden and enjoy the green house. Beautiful place to bird watch, orioles, cardinals, blue Jays, and even humming birds could be spotted in the garden.

A beautiful and secluded park that is much bigger than it looks like from the streets (where you can’t see much behind the walls). It has pretty fountains and manicured lawns, but it also has lots of wild and free nature too. On the northwest corner there are chickens, which are fun to see. In the other corner there is a beautiful garden and greenhouse.

Relaxing, quiet, good for pets. Its a huge park with many groves of large trees where you can relax, tie a hammock, get a picnic going. Would revisit.

Very well kept. Great place for the family and friends. Better than East Rock Park.

Its beautiful . The aroma from the flowers and erbs magnificent

A beautiful historic park. Great paths and many mature trees to picnic under. The greenhouse and its cats are our favorite.

Attended a folk music festival at Edgerton park and it was lovely. I havent been there for years and had forgotten what a wonderful park it is. Expansive lawns and nice paths. I wandered through the community garden as well as the greenhouses. Such a great variety of plants.

Beautiful park. But the amount of dogs not on leashes are beyond annoying. No one wants your dirty dogs attempting to sniff peoples rear ends. Park signs says Dogs need to be on leashes!

A gorgeous spot right on the border of New Haven and Hamden, perfect for a picnic or letting the kids run some energy out. Its not a huge park, but enough space and paved roads to do a little walking. There are plants for sale in the greenhouse (limited hours), and fun events and festivals throughout the year.

A beautiful place to have a picnic!

I LOVE this park. The greenhouse & especially the conservatory are phenomenal. The park is extremely clean & well maintained. Its the perfect place to read, picnic stroll or jog. I always encounter the friendliest people & so many dogs! Its also just big enough that privacy can be accomplished. There isnt a playground but wide enough spaces for children to run around or picnic. Such a beautiful spot.

Its very peaceful its a place where you can go if u just want to think, unwind weather ur with kids ur partner its just a peaceful place to be for me its my escape room

New Havens hidden gem, get away from the city and stroll through public garden and enjoy the green house. Beautiful place to bird watch, orioles, cardinals, blue Jays, and even humming birds could be spotted in the garden.

Great place to relax, read, picnic, or walk your dog. This is my favorite park.

Beaituful foliage there

This is a historic park that was previously the Estate of Eli Whitney. Good to take your dogs your dogs for a walk or you can let them run in a huge open field. Very quiet and beautiful park. They also have a library and a great staff member to tell you about the history of the former Estate thats now a thriving park for all to come.

Incredibly special and unique park with greenhouse space available year round. Caring and informative members who wholeheartedly love horticulture and those seeking the greener way of life.

We dont live in New Haven but we often work in the park shooting weddings. The park is an Oasis and a great place to walk (the dog) and just chill. They have a community garden you can walk through with some amazing plants, flowers and vegetables. Its not a large park but its very well maintained and if you venture outside down the street are some amazing homes to view.

A peaceful place for drawing and stopping to smell the flowers. Squeeks!

Very spacious and calming.

This is a fantastic park to visit. There is an abundance of plants through the park grounds. The garden area is an added bonus. This is a great location to walk, jog, run or even just hang out. There are lots of local events that happen in this park. I highly reccomend visiting this area.

A great little hidden gem

Peaceful and perfect for strolls with family and friends. No picnic tables.

Beautiful Park! Nice area for a photo shop.

Awesome hiking, fishing

Great place to walk in. Its really big and its great to bring dogs for a walk. Its awesome that the hold many free events. Also its nice that it has a greenhouse.

Nice place for exercise

Great quiet oasis right in the middle of everything.

This is a great Urban Park. Set on the grounds of what was watch the actress in the state, the greenhouses which that family wants maintained are still in use. The rest of the space is open for walking or just relaxing. Stop in at the greenhouse and see what plans they have for sale

Beautiful outdoor oasis

We have a bunch of dogs that meet everyday at 4pm. 14-16 dogs. They play, run, play fight, get balls, and she loves the fountain. Beautiful park . Well kept. Best place in NH

Went there for Shakespeare in the park. Its a beautiful place. Highly recommended

New Havens best kept secret. A wonderful park to visit at all times of the year. Quiet, peaceful, and safe. Perfect place to study in the spring, summer, fall...picnic...get married... lovely.

This park is nice. It gives me a little bit of a creepy vibe, but thats kind of part of its vintage-y aesthetic

This hidden gem is probably the most beautiful park Ive seen around New Haven. I went there on a sunny Saturday morning with my dog, and he ran around the hills off leash. There is a sign that says to keep dogs on leash, but people are friendly and if your dog is behaved they dont mind. Just make sure to pick up after your pup if you go.

New Havens best park. Has an old greenhouse and lovely garden. The expansive grounds create room for peace and tranquility. There are concerts and plays with their fundraiser Fair in September a highlight for families. They have games, food, and entertainment. Visit now.

Beautiful place Granddaughter took prom pics here gorgeous.

Beautiful place.

Caught the flu when they had the lantern walk. There was nothing to do but walk around in the cold and look at plants in the greenhouse. There wasnt any activities for the kids.

Very pretty park! It has a nice view. Very clean too, you can tell it has maintenance done every now and then.

We love this park. Great place to walk your dogs. Chicken flock there and wonderful greenhouses.

Its such a calm and serene place. There are a couple of cute dogs around and its pretty quiet here.

Beautiful park meeting house for the bonsai society of new haven

By far the most beautiful place in New Haven. Peaceful, safe, and well cared for.

Quiet park where you can recharge your battery within walking distance of downtown and East Rock.

There was no car entrances and it was walled in.

Nice place to walk. The main problem is that everytime I go there, there are so many dogs running around without a leash. Sometimes dogs attack each other.

An absolutely wonderful place to go for a walk. Beautiful trees and buildings make it a great spot for family photos/engagement photos. Also a great place to take your dogs. Large open fields make it a great spot for the whole family to go to and have some outdoor fun. Highly recommend stopping by to check it out.

I love the Edgerton Park greenhouses. They are filled with unusual and common plants, from tiny to huge. Theres plenty to purchase, or you can just look around. There is a tropical plants greenhouse with very interesting plants from around the world, not for sale. You can also wander through the community gardens tended by local individuals. Its a nice outing!

Absolutely Beautiful!!!

One of pur favorite parks in New Haven. Clean, hidden away, beautiful fountain and great hill for rolling down.

Lovely grounds of a former estate.

It was a very relaxing place and it had a nice waterfall and very cute chickens

On of my favorite spots in New Haven! Great for dogs, families, people of all sorts to relax, walk, jog, play, and enjoy nature. I especially love the green houses and gardens.

Beautiful photo location.

Nice park but small...bridge area under construction

A beautiful park and well kept!

Beautiful. Clean. Friendly and safe.

Watched Shakespeare in the park. Make sure to reach 20 mins before starting time for a bit of live music as well

Went for the annual bonsai festival and had an amazing time. Cant speak for the park so much itself but its noce to see they care to hold community events here.

Went on a school trip with jepson as a chaperone and the staff was really nice. They even allowed the kids to play after the trip was finished. They have a variety of plants and flowers at a reasonable price. They also allowed the kids to make a plant. I plan to visit more often with my children.

Nice park, very well kept.

I just love their natural scene, nice running trail. They sell nice plants chipper than florist. Sometimes they host garden play such as Shakespeares. Very lovely park.

Beautiful park and the flowers are gorgeous!!!

Great park

It is a local park where the locals really show how participation can make a park special.

Well cared for,Conservatory and Greenhouses well kept. Excellent Community Garden,many specimens left from estate days and view of East Rock is focal point of whole placeWell worth a visit.

Lovely park to walk, run or bike in. Greenhouses have lots of plants of all types and employs handicapped workers in a wonderful program. The grounds are just beautiful and weddings and other outdoor events can be held there.

Shakespeare in the park event. Always a good show to see.

A beautiful place to visit ️

Beautiful park with a charming greenhouse and even better greenhouse cat

It is a beautiful park to go out for a walk and have some fresh air or to have a picnic, me and the kids we used to have fun bringing some food for the chickens that they have all of away in the back

1st time and so beautiful!!! Will be back again.

Went to the park for a photoshoot, I live pretty close and never noticed it. Beautiful park with lots of flowers and a big fountain.

Beautiful. Surreal. Its everything and more. Words cannot describe its serenity.

Best and most romantic picnic spot!

This New Haven park (on the border of New Haven and Hamden) is enjoyable every season of the year. With well-tended grounds and many ornamental plants, it s a lovely spot for a wedding. There is excellent sledding in winter (lots of thrills without the dander of the Divinity School Hill), Shakespeare in the Park in August, and several festivals. It is an excellent place to walk your leashed dog or to check out the specimen trees (many marked with labels). Be sure to visit the Sarah T. Crosby Conservatory open from 10-4 daily.

Beautiful, like a fairy land. The plants in the greenhouses are amazing!

This park is unique in that it has a greenhouse that is open to the public. You can browse and purchase plants. Additionally, they have a community garden area which you can walk around. The rest of the park is open areas, there are no hiking trails, but you can walk around te grounds at a leisurely pace. Sometimes the park and/or greenhouse host special events.

Probably my favorite park in New Haven. The gardens and trees are great as are the meandering paths. You get a good sense of the grandeur of the park when it waz privately owned and there was still a mansion on it.

Nice little Park to walk around especially in the garden and the greenhouses.

A true hidden gem of New Haven. This park is a walled off pastoral treasure. Quiet, well maintained, and they do Shakespeare in the summer.

Love running and walking here. If you get lucky, you can meet a nice :)

Greenhouse gardens very lovely

Nice plantings, huge trees, flower garden. Even chicken coop. People walk their dogs. Benches to sit on.

Beautiful place for a wedding or an elopement. Some construction going on.

Awesome place to sled in winter. Good for a short walks, park is dog friendly.

This place is magical, I love the greenhouse!

Has an awesome fountain, so much space, and the best hill for rolling down

Attended G.R.O.W.E.R.S. fundraiser tonight at Edgerton Park.Very enjoyable. Very friendly service, and a great program!

Love this park. Beautiful and peaceful. You almost forget what city you are in.

Its a beautiful park and Shakespeare performed every summer

Secret oasis in new haven

Went hear for CT folk festival. Very pleasant and well designed park

The history behind the park is as amazing as the views! A must see in New Haven!

Always amazing, but spring is extra special.

A beautiful park, where theres a big lawn for kids to play about; a common garden where a lot beautiful flowers grow and bloom splendidly.

Very nice. Great place for relaxing or pics
