The park is located at the southwest corner of Peck Road and Campton Hills Road. For entrance to the Earth Day Celebration, proceed west on Campton Hills Road and pass the first entrance that leads to the athletic fields, splash park and dog park.

Equinox Drumming

"March is a month of considerable frustration - it is so near spring and yet across a great deal of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away."
- Thalassa Cruso
