Hartford's Goodwin Park Golf Course Set To Reopen Thursday

Woods Path

The path through the woods that cuts off the corner at Ridge Road and Jordan Lane has been cleared of fallen trees and leaves as of June 6, 2014. The path was improved last year by the addition of a bench to rest on in the middle of the path.  This is a great way to soak up a little nature in an urban area and it's also a good place to walk your dog. The lower end has a connecter path to the golf course road and a path to Jordan Lane so that it can be used by folks who like to walk around the park or use the path as a loop trail.  Directions to the path. 

Park Gardens

Volunteers are needed to weed the entrance gardens and also to do some planting and mulch spreading. We also have gardens around the Pond House and next to the Pool House. You can sign up by calling or emailing Mary McAtee 860-655-4017, or mmcatee04@aol.com.

Or you can just show up with your gardening clothes and trowel and start weeding. We may be on the Hartford Blooms 20th Anniversary Garden Tour if we can get the gardens in shape by June 21st when the tour begins, so we need volunteers now.

You can also contact Jon Ney at 860-296-5742 if you're not sure what to do. Jon has a bad back and needs at least an hours notice before he can meet you at the park.
