Eisenhower Park

The 17-acre property was acquired in 1960, and the park was developed during that decade.  The pool was constructed in 1969-70 and the bathhouse was finished in 1971.  The pool and bathhouse are currently under construction, with plans for a grand-reopening in time for the 2026 summer season.

The park also features basketball courts and a youth baseball field. In 2001, a full sized soccer field was built at the site of former tennis courts, funded by West Hartford’s community soccer foundation, Field of Dreams.

Amenities

Please note, the Eisenhower Pool is undergoing renovations and is set to be completed in time for summer 2026.
