Leader: Roy Zartarian Northwest Park is a 473-acre multi-recreational
facility that has been operated by the Town of Windsor since 1972. Much of
what was once tobacco farmland has been reclaimed into biologically diverse
forests and fields embedded with streams and many pristine views. Monarch
Meadow is a 12,500 square foot butterfly garden with over 100 nectar and
host plants. A fully accessible trail winds through this colorful meadow.
Audubon Connecticut recognized the Park as an Important Bird Area in 2004.
Ten different walking trails wind through the Park—maps are available at
the Nature Center or on the Park’s website.
Directions: From I-91 take the exit for Rte 75 (exit 38 on I-91 north; exit
38A on I-91 south) toward Poquonock. Turn right at CT-75 N/Poquonock Ave.
After 1.6 mi take a slight left at Prospect Hill Rd. Go 1.1 mile. At the
traffic circle, take the 1st exit onto Lang Rd. Entrance is on the left.
