This year marks a decade in which townspeople and visitors to Old Saybrook have enjoyed Founders Memorial Park on Coulter Street. The conversion of the former landfill and marshlands offer a pinnacle setting from which to view and explore Old Saybrook’s North Cove and the Connecticut River’s coastal wetlands. Originally donated by the Clarke Family to the town, the park commemorates the founding families of Saybrook Colony. The added recreation and education enhances the longtime conservation of the Ragged Rock wildlife management area by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, Trust for Public Land, The Nature Conservancy, Old Saybrook Land Trust, Town of Old Saybrook and, now, a dedicated group of volunteer maintainers.
On Thursday, July 26, 2018 at 5:00 p.m., the Old Saybrook Parks & Recreation Commission will host a ceremony to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Founders Memorial Park at 100 Coulter Street, Old Saybrook.
