Tripping on Travel: Roseland Park 4 IMAGES

A slide show of images conclude our UP CLOSE series of Roseland Park of Woodstock, CT. All the images were captured on Oct 1, 2023.

The park is described by it's website as "390 acres of forested land, manicured lawns, sports fields, fishing dock, and playgrounds. The park abuts the 94-acre Roseland Lake". I only cover a mere fraction of the entire park. It's origin traces back to 1876, eleven years after the end of the American Civil War, and it's founder, "influential New York merchant, publisher, abolitionist and philanthropist", Henry C Bowen. He originally used the park to host annual Fourth of July parties. At that time, Bowen charged a small entrance fee, and accommodated parking for 1200 horse and buggies. "In Victorian days, the Park sported more than 1,000 rosebushes, gilded fountains, decorative statuary, wooded walking trails, a windmill, a boat house, dining room, and bungalows with maid service." Today, "Park facilities include a playground, basketball court, public golf course, amphitheater, group campground, pavilion, benches, boat launch, as well as the lake and event barn. Activities include: boating, fishing, picnicking, walking and running. No swimming is permitted."
