Greenwich Point Park, Recreational peninsula in Old Greenwich, United States.
Greenwich Point Park extends across 147 acres of land, offering sandy beaches, walking trails, and views of Long Island Sound.
Elizabeth Winthrop Feake acquired the peninsula, known as Monekewaygo by the Siwanoy people, becoming one of the first female property owners in colonial America.
The Innis Arden Cottage, Seaside Garden, and Chimes Building stand as examples of early 20th-century coastal New England architecture.
Visitors require a seasonal or single entry park pass with vehicle permits from May through October, while winter months offer free access.
The park contains multiple saltwater tidal ponds, a holly grove, and an islet featuring an eagle sculpture visible from the former Tod manor site.
