 | Fort Nathan Hale Park |
Black Rock Fort at Fort Hale Park, New Haven | Fort Nathan Hale Park is named for Connecticut’s favorite son, Nathan Hale, who is said to have had but one regret: having but one life to lose for his country. This waterfront park offers a harbor setting as well as a sandy beach for sunbathers. Fish off the access pier or bring binoculars to watch the birds and the wildlife. Trails allow closer observation of the wildlife. Interpretive signage along the trails educates visitors about marshland and some of the historic and cultural values at this site. A pavilion at the park will provide shade from the summer sun. A family friendly playground is available on this site. Sanitary facilities are available.
