1st Day of June: Brooksvale Park Green Trail - Hamden, CT

5-mile, moderate hike. There are some small hills, but no rock scrambling. Park in the large parking just south of the small one next to the barn. This hike includes seeing farm animals. Dogs are welcome but need to be on their leashes at all times (their rules). Per Brooksvale Park: Group parking is in the large lot, not the small one. I will be wearing a yellow hat, and my cell number is 203-640-4711.

Driving Directions: It's best to click on the map in the Meetup phone app for driving navigation, because some GPS services aren't always accurate. From Route 10 (Whitney Ave): Brooksvale Ave is 1 mile south of the Cheshire town line, and 1 mile north of Wentworth Ice Cream. Follow Brooksvale Ave for a mile until you see the park's main entrance. Do not park in the little entrance near the barn.

Please wear and bring: Light clothing (no jeans), comfortable hiking footwear, backpack, poles if you use them, water and snacks, first aid for injuries and bee stings, personal meds, and tick repellent.

We do ask for a contribution of $3 per hike or $15 per year to cover meetup.com fees and our annual social events, picnics, parties, etc...
