About Kosciuszko Park in Stamford
Kosciuszko Park is a 7-acre waterfront peninsula park located in Stamford, Connecticut. Situated at the intersection of Elmcroft Road and Dyke Lane in what used to be called the South End of Stamford, the park offers scenic views of Long Island Sound.
The park features a wide walkway around its perimeter, which encircles athletic fields and a children's playground. Narrower loop trails extend closer to the water, providing visitors with opportunities to enjoy the coastal scenery. The park's layout makes it suitable for various activities, including walking, jogging, and cycling.
Kosciuszko Park is named after General Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a Polish immigrant who served under General Washington during the Revolutionary War. The park serves as a quieter alternative to some of the larger beach areas in Stamford, offering a peaceful retreat for residents and visitors alike.
The park's location next to the water makes it an ideal spot for fishing and observing local wildlife. Its serene environment provides a perfect setting for those looking to escape the bustle of city life and enjoy nature within an urban context.
