New Canaan has a wonderful spot for small children – Mead Park. There is a fenced a toddler play area as well as a more advanced playground, swings, and picnic benches. Additionally, there are several fields, over a half dozen tennis courts, and a lovely duck pond. To top it all off, there is a snack bar that offers an impressive variety of food that is quite yummy, tables with umbrellas, and clean restrooms.
I believe the tennis courts require a town permit to be used but the park seems to otherwise be open to the public for everyone to enjoy. You are also walking distance from the center of town.
Enjoy!
