Glen Island Park

We visited the park last weekend- August 13, 2022. The parking was $10 per car. It was a nice pleasant Saturday. the park was not crowded. There were lots of families having get togethers in the reserved picnic areas. The water was calm which was expected as it is bay/ Long Island Sound. There were some people fishing. I saw only one person caught a small fish. Bathroom were decent/ ok. The food at the store was mediocre and cold. I guess they made the food in the morning and then served for lunch. The fries, hot dog and chicken all were at room temps. The park is big but we kind of stayed around the water. It has some biking and hiking trails. Be aware of the flies / some insects as they bit me and my husband.

The park didn’t disappoint, from the spacious grounds to picnic; the beach which we didn’t truly prepare for to the playgrounds for the children, it was truly a Memorial Day well spent. Oh, did I mention the castle and placement of cannons. I was a good time.

Beautiful place to go for a walk, jog, bbq, picnic, take in scenic views, etc.. They have a few playgrounds and a Harbour Club for special events. Had the privilege of meeting Trini, the park's Foreman. Nicest guy ever!! Definitely going back!

Went off-peak season (March) to this part & it was absolutely WONDERFUL! It was chilly & foggy, but still gorgeous & very family-friendly… a park, plenty of lunch tables & grills, a castle, and a beautiful view.

I’ve been going to Glen Island for the longest time now, and I love it. They have something for everyone. Parks, walkways, grills, seating areas, volleyball nets, and a beach. It really is a nice place to visit during the warmer times of the year as it does get windy near the water.
