Community Park

ABOUT THE PARK: The Litchfield Community Park is a year-round park where anyone can enjoy the outdoors. The Park is owned by the Town of Litchfield and is actively managed by the Litchfield Conservation Commission (Facebook Page).

LOCATION: A map kiosk is located at the parking area of the main park entrance on Hallowell Rd about half way between the Town Office and the Transfer Station.

ALLOWABLE USES: Hiking, nature observation, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, picnicking, and more. There are picnic tables at Crystal Pond and near Willow Pond. Dogs are allowed on a leash or under voice command. Please clean up after your pets. All activity including swimming and skating is at users’ own risk. Note that the ice thickness on the ponds may be inconsistent, and the ponds have active beaver dams that may lead to water quality that is undesirable for swimming.

DID YOU KNOW: The Litchfield Community Park (LCP) features a walkable Storybook Trail depicting local wildlife? The current story is The Bugliest Bug by Carol Diggory Shields. Loved by kids and adults, it’s a rollicking, tongue-in-cheek entree to the entomological world. Damselfly Dilly uncovers a plot by a group of sinister spiders who hold a “Bugliest Bug” contest – and secretly plan to consume the credulous contestants. “A ladybug curtsied, tumblebugs flipped, The judges applauded, then licked their lips.” The Storybook Trail is updated seasonally with new, colorful book pages laminated against weather and mounted on 20+ podiums placed at kid height for easy viewing and enjoyment. The Storybook Trail is located along the Redpoll Trail in LCP.

HUNTING: Hunting is permitted on this property outside the area illustrated on the map as a non-hunting zone.

NO motor vehicles should be on the property without permission from the Litchfield Conservation Commission or the Litchfield Select Board.

NO fires are permitted anywhere in the park.

TRASH IN/TRASH OUT! Please remove your trash and any other trash you find along the way. There is no trash receptacle in the park.
