Wooster Square Park

Beautiful park. Tall, old trees inside with historic buildings surrounding it. Big and open. Great hangout spot or to take a walk. Even at night it’s well-​lit and I feel safe. You can definitely feel the neighborhood vibe. There’s often people jogging around it and there is *always* dogs being taken for a walk.
It’s also great that ½ the year there’s an open market next to it on Saturday mornings and Little Italy is the next road over. So grab a coffee or slice of pizza and take a breather. Especially as the leaves are changing!

Great little park for a quick stroll, jog, dog walk, or even better, picnic. Grab a pie from the nearby Frank Pepe and skip the line for a seat and enjoy what mother nature gave us. Watch out for the dog sized squirrels as they aren’t fans of curious dogs. Ample parking on the street for free here too.

This is a beautiful little park. It’s surrounded by a bunch of legendary pizza joints and italian ice joints. The houses in this community are to die for. They’re beautiful and there’s no doubt that these houses cost a pretty penny. It’s about two seconds from the entrance to 95.

Cute, clean and quiet little park. Great for dog owners. Gotta love the human/​dog water fountain. Well lit at night (although the sidewalks are a little dark). Fairly safe. I haven’t heard of any incidents since I moved to New Haven 7 months ago. However, the park does attract a small homeless population. On Saturdays there is an open air market across the street.

Pretty calm and scenic. Just like the green in downtown New Haven but with much less urban campers.

Five stars for Wooster Square park in the springtime! A must visit when the cherry blossom flowers are present. The park becomes a magnificent wonderland when these clouds of magical pink and white blossoms grace the limbs of the trees throughout this quaint, pretty park. Perfect for photo taking or having a picnic. Family friendly. Street parking; sometimes hard to find a spot on a busy day. Located close to several restaurants, pastry shops, and a coffee shop. A nice afternoon outing for the spring.
