Harrybrooke Park relies on donations to supplement the private trust fund to survive.  It receives no money from the local or state government. "Give Local of Greater Waterbury and Litchfield Hills" is a 36-hour online donation event that amplifies your donation with bonus dollars provided by the Connecticut Community Foundation.   We ask our members to renew their annual fee during this time.  If you typically make a donation to the park annually, this is the perfect time to do it!   To find out more about how this event works, please click below or call the park 860-799-6520.

For any of our friends of the park, we are looking to see if anyone can tell us about this painting, which was recently found in a closet of the Harden House museum.  It has the following signature on it:

"Alvin A. Lee after Charles Chaplin, Haidee, 1934"

If you have any information to help us solve this mystery please call Amy at 860-799-6520.  

To see the painting in person, call Amy to arrange a visit of the museum.

We want  visitors to enjoy the park. To help you plan your trip please be aware of some of the rules: The Park is open from sunrise to sunset.  No pets are allowed. No amplified music or noise is permitted. No motorcycles or motorbikes. Private parties, pavilions and grills require reservations. There are hiking trails along the Still River, a paved circle for walking or biking  and a museum to visit by reservation.  Click below for a helpful map.

There is always something going on at the park. 

Painting is being done inside the Harden House museum, a new patio will be built down by the river behind the Harden House museum. A beautiful new walkway has been put in between the Harden House museum and "Nick's Nook", and the caretaker cottage is getting spruced up.  We are working on fixing the erosion at the entrance to the park caused by the heavy rains we had several weeks ago.  

There are always plenty of projects that need volunteer help to keep them moving. If you would like to help out, please contact the park office at 860-799-6520 or email harrybrookepark65@gmail.com.  

We would like to thank Aiden Collentine, who for his Eagle Scout project installed a blue stone walkway from the  Harden House museum to Nick's Nook. We would like to thank; Kurt Fabische Jr. for painting inside the "Bird room" and hallway of the Harden House museum, local photographer Craig Barrett for taking hours of photographs for our marketing materials, Home Depot for donating 2 pallets of stone pavers for the new patio by the river, Marty Golembeski of New Milford Septic Company for donating rock and dirt, Richard Layton of RT Layton Company for donating hauling/transportation, and Jon Raymond for doing the site work.
