Pond, playground, fishing, and ice skating
Baldwin Pond Park in Meriden is a small pond on the East Side with a playground, soccer fields, and fishing and ice-skating opportunities, plus a waterfall and regular ducks and geese.
Free · Outdoor · Quiet-friendly
Meriden Parks & Rec runs a week-long full-day summer nature camp based at the pond, offering hands-on learning about local wildlife.
The playground is consistently busy and well-maintained; visit early morning if you prefer quieter hours.
Bring supplies for fishing or tadpole exploration; the pond supports small fish and aquatic life year-round.
