The Park was officially named Riverside Park in March of 1897 by the Park Board and was opened to the public on Sep 1898.
  • 3 mile(s) from Pope Park, On November 26th, 1894 Colonel Albert A. Pope provided in his will a gift to the City of 73.0 acres of parkland. Two additional acres were then added from Hartford real estate. In 1897, the City finished purchasing additional southern tracts of land bringing the total acreage to 90 acres. Fourteen acres adjacent to the park were also allocated by the City for juvenile and orphan asylums.
  • 4 mile(s) from Keney Park, This 694 acre park includes 584 acres in Hartford and 110 acres in Windsor. Keney Park is the largest park within the city system, providing not only neighborhood recreation in a historic designed landscape, but also ecologically rich environments.

  • 3 mile(s) from Elizabeth Park, On August 30, 1894 the will of Former Parks Commissioner Charles H. Pond set aside, as a gift to the City of Hartford, about 90 acres in the Northwest section of the township. The original design, by Theodore Wirth, dates to 1900. The famous Rose Garden was created under Wirth's design and guidance beginning in 1903
  • 2 mile(s) from Bushnell Park, The Park was one of the earliest public parks in the nation to be planned and built by a municipality as a graceful pastoral landscape rather than a formal European garden or New England square.
