Reply to comment by Bruins125 in Hartford-owned Batterson Park to become CT state park, made free if new plan approved by ThatsALotOfOranges

it borders Farmington & New Britain. It was a park, with a lake for swimming, trails and picnic area.

It doesn't border Hartford though, it's entirely enclosed by New Britain and Farmington and about 4 miles driving from the Hartford border. It just seems odd that the City of Hartford would own the land, unless this was originally a reservoir for the city.
