Wolcott CT Parks


Peterson Park, located on Mad River Road, is one of two recreation spots in Wolcott CT and is the only public park in town.

My son insisted on going to a playground yesterday, and the closest one was at Peterson Park.

I'm glad that I listened to the little man. It gave me an opportunity to explore the park, which I had not taken the time to do in my previous excursions there.

Peterson Park has two pavilions; the pavilion closest to the park's exit is available for rental to both residents and non-residents of Wolcott CT.

Besides the standard picnic areas, tennis courts and basketball courts, Peterson Park also has two full playground areas for children of all ages to enjoy, and is one of the few parks in the area that boasts a skateboard park for skateboard enthusiasts.

Peterson Park is truly a great park at which to spend the day with family and friends.

Lake Hitchcock, Wolcott CT

Lake Hitchcock, Wolcott, CT

I remember looking at  a very old map of the Greater Waterbury area in one of the classrooms at West Side Middle School back when I first started teaching and noting that smack at the bottom of Wolcott was a lake that was shaped like an extracted molar...

That map had to be dated about 1895 or so...because today, if you look at that same lake, it looks like the tooth has a big gaping hole in it...

Of course, Lake Hitchcock is one of the most sought after spots in the Greater Waterbury area, and for good reason.

There's no fishing allowed, but one can enjoy a nice boat ride or waterski on the lake, and there are plenty of Wolcott residents who live on the lake or nearby to take advantage of the oppotunities that the lake provides.

What a lake!

 You can actually see the sky reflected in the northern half of the lake.
