Wilson Park

A New Park in the Wilson Neighborhood

Our community and recreational infrastructure is set to receive a significant boost with the development of the new park at 458 Windsor Avenue, showcasing the impactful use of American Rescue Funds. In January 2024, a proposal to fund the Wilson Park project was introduced, securing a total of $4,355,000. This funding includes $4,000,000 from the Connecticut Community Investment Fund and an essential contribution of $355,000 in American Rescue Funds.

In February 2024, the funding appropriation received approval, followed by a referendum on March 12, 2024, which successfully passed.. The park will be a beacon of community development, envisioned to enhance health and well-being among residents. The park will provide a versatile space for relaxation, celebration, and recreational activities.

This project is a prime example of how targeted investment through American Rescue Funds has been crucial in fostering community spaces that benefit all residents. Wilson Park promises to be a cornerstone in enhancing the quality of life in Windsor, turning a simple space into a hub for engagement and joy.
