The park is over 120 acres along the West River, with walking trails by ponds and wetlands and a wetlands viewing platform. Park amenities include a gazebo, dog run, playground, skate park, tennis courts, and a basketball court.[2] The park also features memorials for the Spanish–American War and the Holocaust. HistoryIn 1889, the City of New Haven "adopted" sixty acres of property which they turned over to the new Park Commission for development. Nicholas W. Hubinger, James Mason, and Donald Mitchell made additional donations of land for the park. Mitchell, an author and agriculturist whose pen name was "Ik Marvel" lived above Forest Road on his Farm, "Edgewood," the namesake of the park. In 1910, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. designed the layout of the present park. It included an extensive rose garden, a "grandmother's garden," a lily pond, an archery field, groves and glens, trails, carriage drives and a bridle path over three miles long. A spring of cold pure water at the corner of Stanley Street and Ella T. Grasso Boulevard was used by the local residents in the summertime; it was later made into a drinking fountain. Skate ParkA major draw to Edgewood Park is the Edgewood Skate Park, the only skate park in New Haven. It used to be skating rink, and is housed next to the Coogan Pavilion.
