Schenck’s Island Parking Lot Closed Beginning Monday for Construction of a New Parking Lot

Construction of a new parking lot at Schenck's Island begins on Monday.  The new parking lot will improve public safety and accommodate more vehicles.  The project will also bring electricity into the park allowing for parking lot lighting and the ability for additional concerts or performances.  

Beginning Monday, Schenck's Island will be closed to vehicular traffic until further notice. Please use available parking in Wilton Center. Parking along the bridge is not allowed. 

A pedestrian accessway will be created to allow walking access to the picnic area and river. Residents are encouraged to consider using the tables in the chess park along River Road as an alternative.

Thank you for your cooperation as we make improvements.  For more information, please contact the Department of Environmental Affairs at 203-563-0180.
