Cos Cob Park has quietly become one of my favorite outdoor spots in the area. Tucked right along…read morethe water next to the old Greenwich Power Plant and the Mianus River railroad bridge, it offers some of the best harbor views around. If you come by during sunrise or sunset, the lighting over Cos Cob Harbor is tough to beat. I love just sitting by the overlook watching the local rowing crews glide across the water during their morning practices and races--it brings a really calm, classic New England energy to the whole place. The park packs a lot into its layout without feeling crowded: * The Walking Paths & Waterfront: Paved, well-maintained, and easy to loop around. Great breeze coming off the harbor. * The 9/11 Memorial: The two glass towers standing against the water create such a quiet, moving, and beautifully solemn space to pause and reflect. * The Turf Field: Always lively in the mornings with adult drop-in soccer matches. * Playground & Pet-Friendly Areas: Plenty of space for kids to burn off energy, and it's a solid, welcoming spot to bring your dogs along on a leash. Whether you're looking for a brisk morning walk with your pup, catching golden hour over the harbor, or letting the kids run around the playground, it's easily one of the best waterfront community parks in town.

The Mianus River Park Connecticut is something of a surprise for newcomers, a beautiful hidden gem…read moreof woodland and a beautiful small river just 22 miles long flowing though woodlands on the border of Greenwich and Stamford. It rises at Bedford, NY in Westchester, NY. Altogether, the park in both is a bit more than 220 acres total The trail is accessible from parking lots in Greenwich and Stamford that allow access to the park, but check to see if PARKING PERMITS ARE REQUIRED. Dogs should be kept on lead and under control, not just because it's the right thing, but also because there is wildlife in the park, Eagles nest in the areas and Black Bears are known to nest there. There is a Mianus Web site as also from Stamford and Greenwich. IN the 90s, a fishway was built to allow migratory fish to enter the river as they had previously. It's just a beautiful place that I once shared with a neighbor occasionally as we walked our dogs in the park, a rare time witha great person in early sages of cancer until she had to give it up.

Looking at Kosciuszko Park, I saw that there was no fee, only fees for using the common area/Gazebo. We got there at about 5PM on a Friday afternoon. As noted on the website, there is no fee to enter the park. There is a large parking lot there and the only people that were in the park were a few runners and a few local older groups who seem to be regulars. The walking trails are gravel and dirt with lots of goose poop in the grass, so you can kiss those fresh all white sneakers goodbye if you are not careful. The park is a nice free option to get some good views while taking a walk. I do plan on returning on the nicer days to the visit the other fee-based parks, including Cove Island Park, as they seem to be a lot bigger and offer more to do.
