Hubbard Park in Meriden was developed in 1900 and consists of 1700 acres.  It contains a 4 acre lake near the entrance and a tower on the a 1000 ft mountain with views from Long Island Sound to Massachusetts.  My earliest memories of the park was going to the park with my grandmother and eating at the restaurant that was adjacent to the lake.  A few years later, the family would go to the park for ice skating in the winter.  And it was a good location for a proposal, as I’m sure many other couples have also appreciated the location.  So it was nice to drive thru the park on our recent anniversary and see minimal changes in the park since my youth.
