Oyster Shell Park 95 North Water Street, Norwalk, CT 06854

"Have to counteract the less than 5 star reviews with no basis in reality. This is a private, recently renovated park with beautiful views of the Norwalk River. The din of I-95 is faint, and the walking path is wide, with gentle hills. Check it out!"

"My visit to Oyster Shell Park on Thanksgiving Day was delightful. This hidden gem provided the perfect setting for a peaceful escape with my parents. The historical touch added an extra layer of fascination, allowing us to learn about the area's rich past while enjoying the scenic beauty. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to unwind and escape from typical city-life."

"Pretty decent park and a nice trail to walk. There’s a little bit of everything for anyone who comes here. Usually clean and well kept. There is a small (free) parking lot. The limit is "90 minutes." In the summer, the ice cream truck drives into the parking lot. Cons: There are dumb kids on mopeds driving on the sidewalk and through the playground. And when it gets dark, there are people smoking marijuana everywhere. I suggest not walking here at night, and if you do, don't go alone."

"Lovely park along the Norwalk River with some great walking/jogging trails. A few steps and lots of hills for those looking for a bit of a challenge. The park's paths are long enough to get in a decent workout. Childrens playground in the front of park near the parking lot. Park is clean and well kept. The free parking lot accessible from North Water Street accommodates about 25 vehicles. Walking distance to/from the Maritime Aquarium...great stop before or after your visit there."

"Love the views and the trail is great for walks. There's a small playground for kids and disc golf course too. You will also find a few metal sculptures around."
