Outside in Stamford

The stretch of restored riverbank that runs along the west edge of downtown, with paths on both banks of the Mill River and a carousel in a glass pavilion at the middle of it. A grove of cherry trees survives from the old park and flowers in April. In winter the lawn beside the carousel becomes an outdoor skating rink run by the same nonprofit that maintains the park.

Daily, 7am to 10pm. Carousel and rink keep their own shorter hours
