In his March 26 Community Connections letter, First Selectman Fred Camillo shared some exciting news: Our very own Bruce Park has been nominated for the Best City Park award in USA Today’s annual 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards.
The "David vs. Goliath" Matchup
Bruce Park is the only park in Connecticut to make the list this year. We are currently going head-to-head with massive urban spaces like Forest Park in St. Louis and Klyde Warren Park in Dallas. While we are technically a Town, not a city, we know Bruce Park has the character to take down the big metropolitan giants.
"It’s high time that the rest of the country see why Greenwich has some of the best parks in the USA by winning the contest this year," says Camillo.
What Makes Bruce Park Our "Crown Jewel"?
Established in 1908, Bruce Park is a 100-acre quintessential New England beauty. It is a blend of rugged granite outcroppings, manicured landscapes, and top-tier facilities. Here is why it deserves your vote:
The Bruce Museum: A world-class institution for art and science nestled right on the park grounds.
Sport & Play: Whether you're hitting the Tennis courts, rounding the bases on the Baseball diamond, or enjoying the Bocce courts and Horseshoe Pits, there’s a space for every athlete.
Family Favorites: The modern Bruce Park Playground remains one of the most popular destinations for Greenwich families.
Iconic Landmarks: From the picturesque Gazebo (the ultimate photo spot) to the scenic walking paths along the Ponds, it offers a genuine escape.
Coastal Charm: Quiet vistas overlooking the inlets of the Long Island Sound.
How to Vote: The "Early and Often" Rule
To bring the trophy home to Greenwich, follow these steps:
Frequency: You can cast one vote per day, per device. You can vote here.
The Deadline: Polls close at 11:59 a.m. EST on Monday, April 6.
The Big Reveal: Winners will be officially announced on April 15.
Between the Lines: While letting our secret out might invite the crowds—and calling ourselves a "City" is a stretch for this fiercely proud Town—Greenwich is nothing if not competitive. We know we have the best park in the country; we might as well make it official.
