Parks & Playgroundsin New Canaan, CT
17 grandparent-friendly parks & playgrounds in New Canaan. Playgrounds and green spaces for fresh air and play.
- Nature Scavenger Hunt: Find a feather, a bug, 3 different leaves, something smooth, something rough, and one thing nobody else spots.
- Cloud Shapes: Lie on the grass and take turns naming what clouds look like. No wrong answers here.
- Bird Count: Keep score of every different bird species you spot on the walk. Grandkids take this surprisingly seriously.
- Most county parks are free to enter during the week — the parking fee is the main cost, and many lots don't have attendants before 9am.
- Pack a picnic. A park visit with a homemade lunch beats a restaurant every time for grandkids, and costs a fraction.
