Mill River Park

Mill River Park is a green space along the river featuring walking paths, picnic areas, playgrounds, and a display fountain. The layout combines open lawns with wooded sections and creates different zones for sitting and exploring.

The site was created in 2013 as part of an urban renewal effort to reinvigorate downtown Stamford. This redesign transformed a neglected riverfront area into a central gathering place for the community.

The park displays art installations and sculptures throughout its grounds that blend nature with creative expression. These works create gathering spots where people naturally spend time together.

The grounds are easily walkable and busier on weekends and warm days when more visitors arrive. Comfortable shoes are helpful since paths wind through different sections of the park.

The park allows paddling activities such as kayaking and canoeing in designated areas of the river. This water opportunity sets it apart from typical urban parks and offers another way to explore the area.
