Keney Park

Keney Park, designed by the Olmstead Brothers, sons of Frederick Law Olmstead, who designed Central Park in New York City, is one of the largest municipal parks in New England. It has 695 acres, 100 of which extend into Windsor. This park was initiated in 1896 when Reverend Francis Goodwin, chairman of Hartford's Board of Park Commissioners, convinced merchants Henry and Walter Keney to will a large part of their property for a park. It was built in 1902 and was designed with four granite pavilions arranged in a semi-circle. The park was to appear completely natural, characterized by "rolling wild pasture land and the traditional forests of the New England landscape". The park would later have an 18-hole golf course, cricket fields, tennis courts, horseback trails, baseball fields, a swimming pool, and playgrounds. It even had a zoo and a sheep farm at one time. The entrance was badly damaged during the 1938 hurricane. © Windsor Historical Society.
