点评:Elizabeth Park is a gem of West Hartford and Hartford providing a gorgeous accessible space for all visitors to enjoy, but well worth the trek for folks who live farther away (I myself venture here a few times a year and think it is well worth the 30 min drive). This park is absolutely gorgeous and boasts one of the most diverse and beautiful rose gardens in the state of CT. There are walking paths, bike paths, gardens, green houses, gazebos, benches, chairs, populous ponds with geese and ducks galore, tennis and basketball courts, places of shaded refuse and full sun, plus free (but warning at times limited) parking. In addition there is the Pond House Cafe and a food stand (with ice cream!) on the premise that both are great for meals. The Pond House Cafe is on the smaller side and open for lunch (or Sunday brunch) Wednesday-Sunday so best to make a reservation. Meals are very fresh and unique, but there is something for everyone on the menu.
You could spend an hour here or the whole day truthfully with a good book, sightseeing, exercise, or pictures of the local fauna or for special occasions (i.e. prom, engagement, wedding, etc.). It's great to see so many people of so many ages and backgrounds enjoying nature here. There are also a wide array of outdoor performances and events as well. This is most certainly one of my favorite CT gems and highly recommend!
翻译:伊丽莎白公园是西哈特福德和哈特福德的一颗明珠,为所有游客提供了一个绝佳的无障碍空间,但对于住得较远的人来说,非常值得一游(我自己每年都会来这里几次,我认为开车 30 分钟非常值得)。这个公园非常漂亮,拥有康涅狄格州最多样化、最美丽的玫瑰园之一。这里有步行道、自行车道、花园、温室、凉亭、长椅、椅子、鹅鸭成群的池塘、网球场和篮球场、阴凉的垃圾场和充足的阳光,还有免费(但有时有限)停车位。此外,还有 Pond House Cafe 和食品摊(有冰淇淋!),两者都是用餐的好去处。Pond House Cafe 规模较小,周三至周日提供午餐(或周日早午餐),因此最好提前预订。餐点非常新鲜独特,但菜单上总有适合每个人的菜品。
您可以在这里度过一个小时或一整天,阅读一本好书,观光,锻炼,或拍摄当地动物的照片,或参加特殊场合(例如舞会、订婚、婚礼等)。很高兴看到这么多不同年龄和背景的人在这里享受大自然。这里还有各种各样的户外表演和活动。这绝对是我最喜欢的康涅狄格州瑰宝之一,强烈推荐!
