  Bushnell Park is not just a park—it’s the heart of Hartford.

     It’s where we gather to celebrate life’s moments, both big and small. It’s where families share picnics under the shade of century-old trees, where children laugh as they ride the historic Carousel, and where friends come together for concerts, festivals, and quiet walks. It’s a space for reflection, connection, and community—a place that belongs to all of us. As the first publicly funded park in the United States, Bushnell Park holds a special place in Hartford’s history. But more importantly, it remains a vital part of our city’s present and future.
