- Title
- Mianus River Park
- What occurred
- In 1901, Robert T. Morris bought 350 acres of land on the Greenwich/Stamford border that surrounded the Mianus river. In the late 1960s, Stamford purchased 77 acres of the land, and Greenwich purchased 110.3 acres, all for park and recreational space. The park quickly gained popularity from nature-lovers, hikers, dog-walkers, fishers, and more. By the mid-2000s, overuse of the park became evident and a joint Stamford-Greenwich action plan was put into effect to control park use and repair damage.
