Our mission is to connect people with the Connecticut River, and we do just that, year-round, in our clean and safe parks. We manage, maintain, and operate four riverfront parks and their connected riverwalks and trails. Since 1981, we have led the effort to revitalize the banks of the Connecticut River in Hartford and East Hartford.  We’ve transformed the Riverfront from an overgrown area walled off by flood dikes and cut off by Interstate 91 into four public parks connected by riverwalks.
