Northwest Park

The Recreation Division worked with the town’s volunteer Boundless Playground Committee and Boundless Playgrounds Inc. of Bloomfield, CT to develop a Boundless Playground in Northwest Park. The playground was designed so that all children, the fully able, as well as those who have physical, sensory and developmental disabilities, can play together. The play area for ages 5-12 opened in May of 2003.

The Northwest Park Boundless Playground is a barrier-free, 70% wheelchair accessible, developmentally appropriate, sensory rich, fun and safe playground for children of all abilities. The playground has an area designed for children ages 2-5 and an area designed for ages 5-12. The playground includes restrooms at the site.

During the summer months the park comes alive with activities and events programmed by the Northwest Park Ambassadors. Events include drop-in activities and evening art events as well as larger community seasonal events. Programs run seasonally from June through October from 5:00 until 8:00 PM.

This intimate community based ART space located at Building 2 within the park curates ideas and fosters creative collaborations within the community and beyond. A destination for the curious and the connector to all things ART. Open seasonally for special events and exhibits. Click here for more.
