Northwest Park

On the weekends, through the park and soak up the rays. Lots going on, Small animal farm, Childrens area and general chill out areas.
Trail lead to Farmington river and fishing!
Took my son their for fishing & he csught an eel!

I visited here on a chilly winter day between Christmas and New Year’s with my family. None of the buildings/​activities were open, but we still had a great time! My nephew, who is almost 2 years old had a blast running around the park and meeting all the animals. Our favorite was Strawberry the cow, who came over to the edge of the fence to say hello and moo’d loud enough for the whole world to hear! The park was clean, and well taken care of. There was a bridge that went over a little pond which was filled with goldfish, which was also a hit of the day. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Perfect place to spend an afternoon with family! :)

This park, situated in Windsor, is very beautiful. There are many hiking trails to enjoy year around with a cross country ski warming shed. There are Barnes to feed and see typical agrarian animals, and at the playground to let the children run around while you enjoy the beautiful scenery. There’s also a large pond with many gold fish and turtles. One of our favorite places to go in Windsor.

A great place!
Was fortunate enough to learn of this great park through a hiking meetup and have returned many times on my own since.
This park has a variety of easy to moderate hiking trails. You can definitely visit over and over again and continue to mix them up. My favorite is the Rainbow Reservoir trail.
There are barnyard animals, beautiful gardens, educational features, a braille walking trail for the blind, a bog, etc. Felt safe walking with or without a friend here.
Definitely worth a visit.

Great park for hikers or those who are just looking to enjoy spending some time outside. The trails aren’t difficult but there is something about them that makes them feel more secluded than other parks which I enjoy. Big open fields with people and dogs alike playing. Close to the reservoir if you want to let your dogs take a swim. Barns to check out some of the farm animals. There’s even a dog park across the street!

Winter, spring, summer, fall is the best time to visit Northwest Park. One of the reason my choose our house we bought was because of the park. It is kid and family friendly. The trails are a great way to take the kids on a hikes and enjoy the great our doors. So news something to do check this it out.

I think it’s a real shame I hadn’t visited this place sooner. It’s like a sanctuary of nature and quiet in the middle of Windsor.
The park has a number of walking trails, going through woods and past some really neat old tobacco sheds and farm buildings. There’s also a nature center, animal barn, playgrounds, and other attractions.
Very cool place and a great way to spend a nice day.

Probably the best park in the area. They really do have everything here: trails, playground, animals, scenic pond, and historical buildings. Also a great place to bring your dog if you have one.

This is bizarre, and I’m embarrassed to admit it, but here we go.
I’ve worked in Windsor since 2007. I thought I’d pretty much seen every corner of the town– with many reviews of restaurants, services, and monuments. But somehow I missed stumbling upon this 473 acre park until I saw someone review it on Unilocal.
It has nature trails, country roads an animal barn, a nature center, gardens, a tobacco museum, places to picnic, trail markers in braille trail, educational programs, a gift shop, and a seasonal maple sugar house.
I checked it out today and it was pretty crowded with cars all over and lots of activity.
Who knew? I sure didn’t!

This place is GREAT! The fact that this huge park is available in Windsor, CT is amazing. They have a handful of walking trails (some longer than others). They have a barn area with goats, sheep, chickens, etc. The nature center has small exhibits to learn about the wildlife in the area.
They make their own maple syrup here and have pancake breakfasts (you really can’t go wrong with fresh maple syrup).
They also have soccer fields that host a wide range of tournaments during the season.
Lastly, they have summer camps. I was raised in these summer camps and have fond memories of them.
Even though I’m an adult now, I am always returning to walk the trails at NWP with my dog. It’s a must-​do when I’m home visiting my parents. I love this place :)

This is a fun park to go hiking or geocaching in. There is a small playground for kids and a few animals in the barn and out in the field. It looks like the cow and mules get a lot of space to roam around.

I still didn’t walk the trails, but this time the museum was open. I’ll add one star to my previous review.
