Quinnipiac River Park

2025 Greenspace Report

With beautiful, open views of the Quinnipiac River, Quinnipiac River Park is a peaceful and welcoming spot at the edge of Fair Haven. The Friends of Quinnipiac River Park are a dedicated, passionate, and visionary group of volunteers who seek to continue improving and beautifying the park for the community to enjoy. This summer, they planted over 50 perennials and a tree, and also created mulch tree rings and added edging to the bird garden. Their strong sense of community and hard work resulted in great additions to the park that will no doubt be enjoyed by the Fair Haven community, human and nonhuman alike.
