Description

Spread across 26 acres in Bridgeport, the park reflects a long transformation from coral reef to landfill. Over 1.7 miles of paths traverse the landscape, linking recycled timber boardwalks, metal grating walkways, and crushed stone routes. Trails lead down along preserved quarry walls to a fishing pond frequented by herons and ducks, while an athletic field and running track share the upper grounds with elevated mound overlooks.
