Named in 2004, Sycamore Park is located on a prominent bend of the New Haven River. The park property includes 8.4 acres and was acquired as part of an agreement between the Town of Bristol and the Federal Emergency Management Agency after a summer flood ravaged the area in 1998. Under the terms of this agreement, Sycamore Park will remain forever as a natural area.Sycamore Park is currently managed as a day-use recreation area through the collaborative efforts of the Bristol Selectboard, Bristol Recreation Department and the Bristol Conservation Commission. The park has several picnic tables, a port-o-let in the summer months, excellent swimming & fishing areas and six interpretive sites.This Park is located approximately 3.4 miles west of Bristol village on Route 116 at the one lane bridge.
