Description

These 133 acres of meadows and woodland were once part of the Fitzgerald Estate Farm. 

This part of the Woodbridge Greenway follows the Naugatuck Trail (blue blazed) which can be accessed by passing the gardens to the open meadows and into the woodlands, continuing north on the main trail. Crossing at Center Road and entering the Rice property will lead into the Alice Newton Street Memorial Park. An alternate trail leads south to Rimmon Road.

On the southside of the parking lot, entering the woods at the Blue Trail marking and crossing at Beecher Road will lead to the Naugatuck Trail/Woodbridge Greenway and through the Racebrook Estates trail system, out to Pease Road and beyond.

The very popular Fitness Trails loop around the two large open fields to the north of the parking lot, including the Woodbridge dog park. These loops also offer wider dirt trails for an accessible experience. Flora and fauna abound on this property. Picnic tables and benches are dotted along the way.
