A great place to spend a warm afternoon, So bring a fishing pole and a red balloon. Have a picnic on a giant plaid blankie, And for the beautiful view, Mother Nature you can thankie. I love making my way down to Harbor Park in the summer. There’s a nice, long trail for strolling, running, and biking. Plenty of grassy space for relaxing. Killer view of the Connecticut river, the Arrigoni Bridge, and the Middletown skyline. Plenty of parking, and conveniently located off of Route 9. Bring a fishing pole; they were jumping out of the water begging to be caught. There are frequent special events here. This past weekend there was an antique car show. This is also where they shoot off Middletown’s fireworks on 4th of July. Within the park is a restaurant(at this point it is the Canoe Club), where you can go grab a drink as well. A little bit of everything here.
