Hamilton and the Rogers brothers came to Waterbury in 1858 to start the Rogers Brothers manufacturing business. The park’s namesake is David Boughton Hamilton (1824-1898) who was the president and treasurer of Rogers & Bro., best known today for their silver-plated flatware, which is still popular with collectors. On nice days, it’s a family gathering spot and provides Waterburians a place to run around and get some sun and exercise. There’s a bunch of athletic fields, a swimming pool, a pond, and some parking lots with locals hanging around checking out car sound systems. There are “trails” but they’re more “worn paths between fields” than anything else. I’ve been known to write up town parks with, like, 100 yards of pavement if it appears in a town trails guide.
HAMILTON PARK NEW HAVEN FULL
It doesn’t really rise to the level necessary to get the full CTMQ treatment.Īnd you won’t believe this, but it also doesn’t even qualify for a town trails page! Eesh.
