Park Watershed

Our Mission

Park Watershed Inc. is a non-profit dedicated to the revitalization and conservation of the 78 square mile watershed that the Park River and its tributaries filter through.

Located west of and connecting to the Connecticut River, this watershed encompasses the towns of West Hartford, Bloomfield, Hartford, Newington, New Britain, Farmington, Avon, Simsbury, Wethersfield and Windsor. The high urbanization of these areas make the continued preservation of the watershed vitally important to ensure natural assets, ecosystems and water quality of the region are conserved for generations to come.

By coordinating efforts across stakeholders- community members, government agencies, and educational institutions- our organization strives to safeguard the health and safety of our communities and the nature within them.
