Volunteer Park

Veterans Park & Memorial
Veterans Park is a quaint little area on Main Street in the center of Beacon Falls. It is situated directly next to the green Depot Street bridge and is the perfect area to pay respect to our local heroes.
Riverbend Park
One of Beacon Fall's newest parks located off Nancy Avenue. Riverbend Park is a wonderful spot for kayaking and canoeing; however, it is recommended that only experienced paddlers enter the river because of the currents that can vary from slow to very swift. Enjoy fishing the variety of fish or just relax and watch the river flow by.

You can also enjoy the pavilion next to the pond. The entrance to the park is located at the corner of Old Pinesbridge Road and Lopus Road. This is across the road from 2 Pinesbridge Road.
