We stopped by Lake Kenosia Park last Saturday. We hadn’t been there in a while, and we were in Danbury for some frozen yogurt at Peachwave, so a few minutes at the park seemed like a good compliment.
The park is about 25 acres. There is a playground, ball fields, open grassy ares, a boat launch, and a beach. Dogs are allowed in some some areas, but not the beach or playground sections. The kids waded around in the water at the boat launch, then hit the playground for a few minutes. For being in the middle of a busy area of Danbury, the park is peaceful, and the lake is rather picturesque. However, the parking area looks a little run down, and I am not a fan of the endless chain-link fencing. Horse fencing is SO much nicer.
To get to this park from Putnam, head east on Route 6 into Connecticut. Make a right onto Kenosia Ave. Just over the overpass for Interstate 84, turn right onto West Kenosia Ave (just before the cemetery). A short distance down the road, the park entrance will be on your left.
