Westmoor Park

Welcome to Westmoor Park!

Westmoor Park is a self-funded environmental, agricultural and horticultural education center operated by West Hartford Leisure Services. The 162-acre facility’s mission is to nurture a lifelong commitment to environmental awareness and responsible stewardship.

Westmoor’s demonstration farm, wildflower meadows, perennial gardens, woodland trails, and ponds are open to the public daily from dawn to dusk. We also offer a wide variety of educational farm and nature programing for folks of all ages. The park also supports a robust Plant-A-Row for the Hungry program. In 2024, Westmoor Park achieved accreditation as a Level II Arboretum, only one of three in the state. Self-guided tree tours are available.

Westmoor Park is maintained by experienced staff with backgrounds in biology, natural sciences and agriculture. Our commitment to quality interpretation has helped the park achieve its reputation as one of the finest environmental education centers in Connecticut.

Dogs are not permitted at Westmoor Park, Picnicking is prohibited, and Bikes are not allowed on the trails. Groups of more than 12 must contact the office before visiting the Park.
